Yardstick Trails User Survey

Yarra Ranges Council asked Xyst to carry out a targeted intercept survey of the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail and the Yarra Valley Trail.

For the survey we used the Yardstick Trail User Survey developed specifically for Yarra Ranges in 2019, and suitable for use on any trail.

The survey includes a set of questions designed to discover why trail users visit these trails, what they do, and what they think of their experience. The survey includes a total of 200 intercept surveys collected in eight locations along both trails.

Project Benefit

This project provides a better understanding of trail use, visitor expectations and experience, and allows better targeting of funding and prioritisation of improvements.
