          APPLICATION ASSESSMENT
          AD)l)I'I'IONAL INFORMATION
The area we propose to use of the Woondum National Park is
a designated 4 Wheel Drive track. It is used by both 4 Wheel
drive vehicles and off road motorcycles. Regular 2 wheel
drive vehicles are unable to traverse this track. We propose
to use low range geared Quad Bikes which will be
permanently locked into low range.

The Quad Bikes will be 250cc minimum governed to a max
speed of 30Kmh. The wheels are unable to slip on the terrain,
therefore no damage to the road. The emissions are at the
lowest of all off road vehicles inclusive of noise. This is the
lowest impact of all off road vehicles.

As we propose small groups of no more than ten guests,
there will be no effect on the present access to nature or
ecologically sustainable use of the area or wildlife.

During our proposed tours, we will be an extra set of eyes for
both nature conservation and reporting of any illegal
activities. In recent visits to the area, I have noted a fair
amount of litter left behind, when it is clearly signed that
visitors take their garbage with them as the area is not
serviced. We propose to clean up and remove all litter left in
this area by not only ourselves but third parties, (to a fair a
reasonable regard (i.e.) excluding the removal of major
dumping or discarded vehicles) as a token of our
appreciation for the use of this area.

The 4WD track we propose to use has very little traffic. The
condition of the track surface and layout of the track
enforces restricted speed by all vehicles using it.
