Canberra Centenary Trail
The idea for a Centenary Trail in Canberra arose from community submissions received in 2009 as part of the Canberra 100 call for Centenary projects. The Trail is intended to showcase Canberra, taking users on a seamless journey between urban and rural environments and incorporating the ACT's iconic sites and hidden treasures.
The Canberra Centenary Trail Feasibility Report (CB Richard Ellis, January 2011) was prepared during 2010 and was made available to the community in early 2011. The Feasibility Report identified a preferred alignment for the trail from a desk top perspective.

The route proposed in the Feasibility Report was then tested on the ground to determine its suitability. The Centenary Trail Ground-Truthing Report (Anthony Burton and Associates, August 2011) provides detailed advice on the route for the Centenary Trail including GPS data. Modifications to the trail proposed in the Feasibility Report have been suggested in some locations where a more suitable alignment was evident at ground level.
