We understand that there have been several acoustic studies undertaken, with
results still to be analysed, as to the amount of disturbance likely to be
experienced by local residents and the environmental values of the Park.
National Parks are gazetted primarily for the preservation, enhancement and
sustainability of flora and fauna, with non-invasive, passive recreational. ,<, .
;.
activities being permitted.
We are of the opinion that quad bikes do not comply with the description of
’passive recreation’, either noise wise or by the fact that the applicant admits .
that they could travel up to 30kph through the Park.
With two tours daily, excluding Australia Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday,
Christmas Day and Boxing Day, but apparently including Anzac Day, of twelve
bikes each tour, there could be in excess of 8000 quad bikes traversing the
National Park throughout the year.
This is likely to have a major detrimental impact on the wildlife which utilises the
Park, many species of which are classified as endangered, lead to unfortunate
encounters with other users, such as horse riders, walkers/hikers, bird watchers

We understand that the application proposes to traverse part of the Noosa Trail
Network. The Trail Network, as we understand it, was intended to provide for
passive recreational use by the above mentioned horse riders, walkers hlke’rs,
bird watchers, to enable them to experience and enjoy ~h.~ natural environment..

There are also concerns regarding the traversing of a section of narrow
Tablelands Road by these presumably unregistered bikes, driven by, mainly,
inexperienced riders, to access and exit the National Park. This road carries’
heavy traffic volume, including tq.lC~S, tankers etc., and this could be an ’
’
accident waiting to happen.

It would appear th~t this applica on has the inten’ti
’
enterprise, an operation for monetary gajn, through a NcJtioni.tl Park, which’is
Public Open Space, under the guise of a Home Based

In our opinion, the only Home Based ,section qf thi~ propo~ed enterprise is the

starting and end point of the venture.’ ,
