Goulburn Region Destination Management Plan

This was the first plan of its kind for the current regional model and TRC led the way to ensure that the output was fit for purpose for our region, realistic to our current position whilst also acknowledging future ambitious and potential of our region. The team provided us with professional service, delivered fantastic stakeholder engagement and were great to deal with every step of the way. We would not hesitate in recommending TRC Tourism.

NSW Central West Cycling Strategy

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

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

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.

Wairarapa Maori Development and Implementation Strategy

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.

Southern Villages Iconic Trail

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.

Niue Tourism 

We have had exceptional experience with Janet and the TRC team over the past 5 years, they have provided us with visionary advice and innovative thinking on how we can make incremental improvements across time to our country and across our tourism offering. Fakaue Lahi, thank you so much to TRC we look forward to working with you in the future.

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

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. 

Gippsland Destination Management Plan

Janet and the TRC team did a great job with the Gippsland Destination Management Plan and I would recommend them to any regional tourism organisation.

Wellington Regional Trails Framework

In 2017 TRC worked with land managers and stakeholders from around the Wellington Region to develop the Wellington Regional Trails Framework. TRC’s destination management expertise, experience and professional approach was critical to the success of this ambitious project, that has seen 11 different agencies align their approaches and come together to move Wellington from an ‘under the radar’ network of tracks to a world class trails destination for residents and visitors alike.

Concept Plan for Adventure Cycling in the Tjoritja/West MacDonnell National Park 

TRC Tourism’s Concept Plan for Adventure Cycling in the Tjoritja/West MacDonnell National Park exceeded expectations. The case it presents for a new, nationally significant tourism product is so compelling it has attracted immediate government investment and presents exciting opportunities for private investors and Aboriginal Traditional Owners.

The high level of professionalism of the team and all-encompassing support offered by TRC gave us assurance in completing our project on time and within the limited resources despite these challenging times.

Pūkorokoro Miranda Shorebird Centre Strategic Plan

We worked with TRC and key partners of the Shorebird Centre to determine how an improved tourism experience could help protect and enhance life for the Shorebirds and their habitat. 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.

Dungog Common Reserve Concept Trail Masterplan

We are very pleased with our experience in working with TRC. Our Concept Trail Masterplan was developed over many months. It is not only very comprehensive but informative and has given our board a clear new direction for our ongoing and future trail developments. It’s been a real pleasure to work with such an experienced team.

Tracy and the TRC team just get it. Their depth of knowledge about the tourism industry has made all the difference for us. It’s accelerated our growth and unlocked our potential.

The Rutherglen Destination Management Plan 2022-2027 is a highly professional and insightful DMP. It was a pleasure working with Chris Rose and the TRC team.
