Rather than appointing formal committees to projects and issues, BWA maintains a flexible approach by harnessing the skills, experience and energy of members, associates and other volunteers through more informal working groups led by the Executive Officer:
| Team / Group | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| 'Walks of the Southwest' | Produce a resource (hard copy and/or online) for bushwalkers covering adventurous walks / hikes in the southwest, excluding the Bibbulmun Track and Cape to Cape Track. |
| TRAILS | 'Good Trails' initiative (trails maintenance) |
| Input to WA Bushwalking Trails Strategy (2018-) | |
| New trails opportunities | |
| Trails issues | |
| ACCESS & ENVIRONMENT | Recreational access to water catchments |
| Bauxite mining expansion impacts | |
| Educating on sustainability of 'traditional' off-track walking in jarrah forests | |
| Other walking environment issues (ad hoc) | |
| CLUB SUPPORT | Talk topics & presenters register |
| Annual insurances renewal facilitation | |
| Remote walks facilitation | |
| Seeking other ways to maintain vigour and relevance of clubs in face of social & other change | |
| COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT | Promoting bushwalking more widely in the community. |
| Promotional banners, flyers & posters | |
| BWA-organised talks / presentations | |
| Effective use of media (website, Facebook etc) | |
