Inclusive hiking initiative coming to the City of Kalamunda
New Hiking is for Every Body program aims to make hiking accessible for people of all abilities, helping more West Aussies experience the benefits of outdoor recreation.
The City of Kalamunda is set to deliver its Hiking is for Every Body program after receiving $19,488 in funding through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries’ (DLGSC) 2024–25 round of the WA Hiking Participation Grants Program.
Designed in collaboration with Off the Beaten Track WA, the city’s program will make hiking more accessible for people of all abilities, with a focus on creating inclusive, safe and supportive environments for participants.
Creating opportunities for people living with disability to immerse themselves in WA’s exceptional natural environments through physical activity allows more individuals to experience the benefits of a healthier lifestyle and being outdoors.
For more information about the city’s program or to express interest, contact Off the Beaten Track WA or visit the webpage.
The Hiking is for Every Body program supports the objectives of DLGSC’s WA Hiking Participation Grants Program and is a great example of the type of projects the program supports.
If your organisation wants to increase hiking participation across Western Australia through a project that creates new opportunities for participation, improves individual skill levels, and builds the capacity of hiking guides, instructors and volunteers, then sign up to receive notifications from DLGSC when the next program funding round opens!
