I was at a meeting last night regarding the Draft Recreation Framework for Bunyip Public Land.
It seems that there are going to be a lot of tracks closed. The main reason for these closures is noise from motorbikes and the complaints from local residents.

The residents dont have any specific problems with the 4WD's.

There is somewhere around 60kms of tracks to be closed, most before the end of the financial year.

The tracks ear-marked for closure are:
Lyrebird Tk.
Two Scouts Tk.
Ridge Tk.
Horseshoe Tk.
Steering Wheel Tk.
Rankins Tk.
Lawless Tk.
Burgess Rd.
Goanna Tk.
Pharroahs Gully Tk.
Log Dump Tk.
Some of Little Bunyip Tk.
Sardine/Senset Firebreak Tk.

Also most of the tracks under the power lines that enter the creek gullies.

Some tracks will be re-opened in the northern section.

The draft proposal should be out in about 4 weeks for public comment. I will let you know when it comes out and urge you to make informed articulate comments.

I would like to see a trial of 4WD only tracks in the south (i.e. no motorbikes) in an attempt to keep some of these open.

This will be a big loss to the 4WD community. If any one hears about similar consultations happening you need to act!. It's no point sitting back and then complain that the tracks are closing!

We need to be pro-active!
We need our voice to be heard!
