Tablelands Road is restri.cted to four wheel drive vehicles. It is used by four h
drive verucles and trail bikes on a regular basis. The majority of traffic is on the
weekends with equal amounts of use on both Saturday and Sunday. Most uses of this
road respect the surrounding neighbours. The existing noise generated by the road
users is audible from our residence but it is not at a level to create any concerns.



Weare aware of the noise levels that will be generated by 12 quad bikes under
restricted power and in a controlled tour. This noise will be far less than that
generated by the existing users ofthe road.                   .




If anything the approved quad bike tour will have more benefits to the amenity of the
area than any    negative impact for the following reasons;

Frequent controlled tours will help in the policing of the area for all to benefit from.
The guides of the quad bike tours will be wearing helmet cameras which record the
entire duration of the tour. This recording can be used as evidence to prosecute any
illegal dangerous or unfair use of the area.

This will deter the unregistered motor bikes and cars from using this area. It will stop
hooning and unsafe driving of vehicles in this area, as their registrations can be easily
identified and given to the local authorities for prosecution. It will teach and educate
those that come on the tours to be considerate of the area, national parks and
neighbours. It will deter illegal dumping ofrubbish in the area. All of which have
been continuous problems for this area over many years.


We strongly request council does not delay or impose any restrictions in aiding this
tour to take place with the starting point to be granted at 298 Tablelands Road Cooran.
As such we support the application for a material change of use to be granted to
Charles Marais. Our report of the facts above are correct as we are direct neighbours
to the Woondum National Park.


Yours sincerely
