TRC Sustainable Trails Conference 2025

Welcome to Dwellingup

Australia and New Zealand’s premier event for professionals in the business of recreation and tourism trails is coming to Dwellingup from October 28-30, 2025. Join leading experts in trail development, management, and marketing for an unforgettable experience with keynote speeches, masterclasses, and dynamic themes.

Nestled just over an hour from Perth CBD, Dwellingup has transformed from a charming former timber mill town into a dynamic and thriving adventure tourism town, with a particular focus on trails. Known for its breathtaking natural landscapes, Dwellingup offers over 100 kilometres of sanctioned MTB trails and is a key point along the renowned Bibbulmun Track and Munda Biddi Trail, making Dwellingup the town “where trails meet”.
