The vision of building the Airwalk was to create an attraction in the Huon valley that would help to slow the unemployment rate & show tourists what a beautiful place the area is.
Completion time - around 2 years in planning & 3 months in construction during the middle of winter
At a cost 1.3 million

Projected estimate of visitor numbers were 50,000 in the first 12 months,
