NSW Central West Cycling Strategy | 2024

Janet and the team from TRC understood the project brief and undertook the project with enthusiasm. The consultation sessions, draft strategy and reviews were all delivered in a timely manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to consider TRC for future strategic work. 

Dudley Trail Master Plan| 2023

TRC Tourism have excellent technical knowledge in the space of trail planning, and the skill to lead communities through very delicate negotiations.  Their passion for communities is evident.  Our resulting plan is of high quality and will allow us to easily implement this to detail design and construction.

Magnetic Island Tourism Masterplan | 2023

Townsville Enterprise worked with Penny and her team in delivering a masterplan for one of our signature tourism precincts. Penny’s wealth of knowledge, global insights and understanding of the industry was exceptional, she was well respected and regarded in her approach to stakeholder and community engagement and has a genuine interest and passion in supporting her clients and the communities she works with. Penny was fantastic to work with and went above all expectations to ensure that the project delivered the best outcomes for all involved.

Kylie Ruwhiu-Karawana is an outstanding consultant in my opinion. She quickly developed a rapport with my Stakeholders and was able to draw from them effectively and efficiently their thoughts and feelings on the proposed project. She has excellent business acumen, is able to think strategically, and she communicates both in her reports and verbally in a clear and concise manner. Kylie is easy to get along with, and was very accommodating when timelines blew out. I enjoyed working with Kylie and would have no hesitation to recommend her services.

Chris, Jo and the team from TRC were an absolute pleasure to work with. From initial inception meetings, to days spent ground-truthing with our team through to the delivery of the final report, the TRC team were easy going yet professional, extremely knowledgeable yet open to ideas from our team.

Tracy & Kylie are fantastic presenters! They are engaging and very passionate about the industry and use their experience and real life situations in their presentation which the attendees can really relate to.

Kokoda Track Maintenance Program and Operations Manual 

The TRC team mobilised rapidly to PNG to assess and repair Kokoda Track bridges severely damaged in the very heavy wet season of last year being choppered into the remote rugged terrain of the Track. Working in very well with The Kokoda Track Authority Rangers, Kokoda Initiative and local communities their efforts and skill contributed greatly to the Kokoda Track being ready for the 2019 trekking season. Remote communities also benefited from being reconnected across the often treacherous river crossings. TRC also helped build the capacities of The Kokoda Track Authority Rangers and local communities to explore ways for future sustainable bridge building and general track maintenance works. The resultant Track Operations Manual produced by TRC is expected to be a valuable guide for future Kokoda Track works.

Cook Islands Tourism Accreditation and Biodiversity Conservation Projects | 2019/20

TRC Tourism have been fantastic to work with and have provided valuable support to our efforts towards strengthening sustainable tourism development in the Cook Islands. Even throughout the Covid-19 pandemic they were able to quickly adapt plans and styles in order to best achieve our desired project outcomes. We very much hope to work with them again in future.

TRC took this challenge even further…expanding the potential for a sustainable tourism experience that addresses other critical environmental issues that are crucial towards the longterm survival of the Shorebird.

Queenstown Trails for the future 2015-2025

From the outset the TRC team were responsive, intelligent, forward thinking and always available. The Queenstown Trails Trust worked with the TRC team in 2015 to craft a 10 Year Strategic Plan. The nature of our business involves very important stakeholders, great vision and many face to face meetings to form our plan. The result of this partnership being a very robust and well thought out plan that we are proud to utilise to assist us in setting the future path of the Queenstown Trails Trust. Interestingly – TRC also formulated the original Trails Trust plan way back in 2004 – it was great to have the opportunity of working with TRC again as they truly understand our business.
