> 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
if the
winding gravel road which is too narrow to allow 2 vehicles to pass safely, even

Compounding an existing problem
7. The’ business's proposal to operate as a tour in Woondum National Park: will
significantly impact upon the local environment and endanger our protected flora and
fauna, eroding the habitat that has been set aside for protection of our natural
environment. The tour will likely have invasive impacts like disturbance to animal and. -
bird breeding and the introduction of weeds.
8. We understand that Noosa Parks Association, Noosa Biosphere Ltd, National
Parks Association QLD, Wildlife Preservation Society QLD, Australian Centre for
Agricultural Health & Safety and Noosa Landcare have also raised their concerns.
On this basis, | would not consider this proposal to be in keeping with proper
development of the area and would’ask that the application be refused.
Yours Faithfully,
