100% and risking the safety and wellbeing of residents, the local community,
recreational visitors, and service vehicle drivers.
}> Erosion to Tablelands Road would be significant as Quad Bikes are similar to
4WD,and the road is only graded once a year. Woondum National Park tracks would
also suffer significant erosion.
3. This business is not suitable for the proposed location and should be located in a
more suitable area.
4. National Parks are set aside for the preservation and protection of native fauna
and flora. Quad Bike tours will impact upon their environment, will be in conflict with
the famous Noosa Trails Network and a danger to others, such as: horse riders,
bushwalkers, cyclists,and the native wildlife.
5. The tour route along public roads presents real potential accidents, injuries and
fatalities as quad bikes are an off-road agricultural use motor bike that do not comply
to on-road Australian standards and are not fit or safe to handle oncoming vehicles. I
have serious concerns for the safety of the tourists,.
6. I have seen photos of the route along Tablelands Road which is a narrow and
winding gravel road which is too narrow to allow 2 vehicles to pass safely, even if the
tour was to only use 100-200 metres of the road.Due to the road conditions and the
type of vehicles that use the road (council trucks, septic trucks, excavator transport
vehicles,
