(1) The State Trail Bike Strategy has been progressed by the Minister for of Sport and Recreation and his Department, but its recommendations impact on a number of portfolios. Where the Strategy requires amendments to the
Control of Vehicles (Off-road Areas) Act 1978
or its Regulations, my portfolio will be responsible for progressing those changes.
(2) Yes. The State Government has confirmed its support for the Strategy.
(3) The Strategy itself encompasses a ten year plan. Further efforts are now being undertaken within government to determine how best to implement the strategy. Any further questions on implementation should be directed to the Minister for Sport and Recreation.
(4) No, the successful implementation of the Strategy will require leadership from a number of agencies in the areas for which they are responsible. The Department of Local Government will be responsible for any legislative reviews and amendments for the Off-road Vehicles components of the Strategy.
(5) The Department of Sport and Recreation is the lead agency, although the Strategy's implementation will require a cross-agency approach.
(6) A formal review is not currently being undertaken as an earlier review was largely superseded by the development of the State Trail Bike Strategy. I am, however, taking steps towards some regulatory amendments which are in line with the recommendations of the Strategy, but can be progressed independently of it. These include liaising with the Minister for Transport on potential changes to the off-road vehicle registration process, and establishment of uniform permissible noise levels for off-road vehicles in all Permitted Areas
