Support trail and ADV riding in NSW by signing the petition

Many of you will be aware that trail bike access to popular NSW areas such as the Watagans and Newnes State Forest is under threat.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service - who manages many key riding areas such as Newnes Plateau and Cullen Bullen State Forest - is planning to close access to single track trails for motorcycles in only a few months.

The current plan is for 4WDs to have dedicated trails that can be shared, but single track will be off limits.

Clearly this will negatively impact the enjoyment of recreational trail riders, especially those located in Sydney and surrounds. What can we do about this? In the first instance, we all need to sign the petition addressed to the Minister for the Environment.

The petition asks that funding is provided for a strategic plan for motorcycle trail and adventure riding – something that NPWS needs to consider if it is to allow singletack access to motorcycles. The petition also asks for the singletrack access decision to be overturned and that the Minister of Transport introduces a recreational registration system similar to the one used in VIC to enable better compliance with legal requirements.
