In 2012, the alliance leased 60ha of vacant bush-land close to town from Gympie Council which have been used to develop over 25km of trails for bush-walking, trail running and cycling in addition to shelters and rest areas. The trail facility is entirely developed and managed by volunteers for the benefit of the Gympie Community and visitors. They have consulted and partnered with many local community groups and schools to create a facility that meets the communities need for access to natural green-space for recreation, nature appreciation and outdoor education.
