Hi

Please forward this objection to the relevant councillor.

 

We are writing to express our great concern over Quad Bike tours operating within Woondum National Park. National Parks are for quiet contemplation and appreciation of nature – not to mention that they are a place for the protection and preservation of flora and fauna. Quad bikes are noisy (distressing wildlife) and they will cause erosion problems on tracks that are not (and neither should they be) maintained to a high degree. What wildlife are they likely to see as 12 quad bikes rev their way down the track? Quad bikes belong in paddocks.  

 

We call upon the Sunshine Coast council to review its decision to allow such a business to operate within a National Park. As residents who live adjacent to Woondum National Park we find it upsetting that there was no consultation with us and that we have only just heard about it after decisions have been made.  It is not right that a place that has been set aside for  its natural qualities should be spoiled in such a way.

 

We would appreciate a reply to this email, giving consideration to our concerns as outlined above.

 

Regards
