(a)-(d) The Control of Vehicles (Off-Road Areas) Act 1978 establishes that local governments, including the Shire of Gingin (the Shire), are generally responsible for the administration and enforcement of ORV areas in Western Australia.
The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) understands that the Shire has implemented risk mitigation measures, such as delineating the ORVA boundaries, installing signage, providing regular patrols and having multiple entry points.
Funding is available through the ORV Account, including for safety upgrades at ORVA’s which the Shire has previously accessed.
