​Background

​The Tasmanian Government has committed $10 million to support priority initiatives for off-road vehicle access and experiences within the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area (APCA) and reserves across the West Coast. The Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area and West Coast Off-Road Vehicle Project has been established to deliver these initiatives.

The Project will include delivery of the following:​​

  • ​​Development of a West Coast Off-Road Vehicle Strategy to inform improved West Coast off-road vehicle access and experiences, and delivery of infrastructure elements and other priorities as may be identified, including track and campground improvements based on recommendations from the Strategy.

  • ​Maintenance and some re-grading of shack node roads and tracks managed by PWS within the APCA.

  • Improvements to general visitor experiences including the gateway to the APCA. Part of the scope will depend on the outcome of the Strategy that is in development.
