Dear John

 

I have written to council to oppose the application made by Charles Marais for Noosa Quad Bike Tours in Cooran.

My reasons were mostly on the grounds of safety to myself and persons who ride with me along the same tracks (Noosa Trails track 3) that Charles intends to use which have been designated by council as safe for use by horse riders, bike and bush walkers. 

I personally would discredit a letter from a policeman stating that it is safe for quad bikes and horses to use the same trail. Therefore if a genuine Queensland police safety permit was issued it would fail on the grounds that quad bikes are with certainty enough to cause a horse to panic and possibly kill a rider.

Department of transport states that quad bike riders would have to be licenced to drive a car to enable the quad bikes to be used on public roads else their insurance would be void.

The business exceeds the parameters to operate as a home based business, and this alone should cause the application to fail. Parts of the application have not been completed and therefore it is an incomplete application and surely an incomplete application cannot be passed?

The sound tests were conducted unsatisfactorily, without novice riders and not on the hills and tracks the business would be conducted on. This does not give a real indication of the noise levels. Locals have expressed to me that they can hear the business already and that it is very disturbing.

All locals I have spoken with expressed their bitterness also that they were unaware of the application until it was too late to oppose it.

I have attached a petition of other persons concerned. I have also posted a printed copy of this to you with a cover letter.

 

Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

Regards,

Niki Brand
