*TAKEN FROM ANOTHER 4WD FORUM*

Hello Folks,

Sad news! We have been denied a permit for Bindaree even though we applied for it months ago.

There is legislation that prohibits motor racing on farm land and when you look into the definition of motor racing it includes all motorised transport where there are vehicles competing. This legislation has been around since 2006 but we have had permits from Shires because they don’t believe the intent of the legislation was to stop 4WD’ers testing their skills on private property one weekend per year in each Shire.

The Baw Baw Shire has decided to follow the letter of the law and whilst we must get permits from two departments we are dependant on their Planning department firstly approving the event then the building Dept will consider giving us a permit for the “gathering”. The latter is tedious but achievable.

We have contact the Planning Minister for dispensation but that’s not going to happen overnight so we must postpone the Ateco.

We will need to apply political pressure on the Minister (Justin Madden) to get a favourable result and that means we will all have to put in. We will also need to engage a professional lobbyist/lawyer who has the skills to negotiate a favourable outcome for us. If we don’t put the effort in now there will be no more 4WD events on farmland in Vic. ever!

It affects trail bike riders as well as any vehicle club activity like Austin 7’s.

My email to the Minister was followed up with a phone call but I could not get past his PA. We will need to exploit every avenue and I will try and help you with ways that you can help.

I will also try and finalise the results for the Polaris 4x4 Challenge tonight.

Regards,

Mike Smith
