Project - Mt Perry Summit Walk

A proposed Mt Perry Community Development Board Project

Executive Summary

This project is to promote and deliver the long sought after and talked about “Mt. Perry Summit Nature Walk”.

This initiative was adopted in 2017 when the newly formed MPCDB contracted the highly regarded consulting firm EarthCheck to develop a Strategic Economic Plan for Mt. Perry. The final Plan identified the Mt. Perry Summit Walk as one of the community’s priorities capturing the majority vote at the final community meeting. (The complete EarthCheck document can be viewed here)

Not only does this initiative showcase Mt. Perry’s natural beauty and extraordinary ecosystems, but it also is an opportunity for Mt. Perry to capitalise on elevated visitor numbers, longer visits and increased per capita spend.

This initiative is part of a bigger picture which is designed to give Mt. Perry an identity and a prosperous future. Combined with other projects such as the “Melbourne Tram” and town beautification, there is no reason why Mt. Perry can’t be the Montville or Maleny of the North and the “Gateway to the North Burnett”
