Project Update July 2024
The public comment period on the Draft West Coast Off-Road Vehicle Strategy is now closed.
The draft strategy forms part of the Tasmanian Government’s $10 million committed to support sustainable recreational off-road vehicle opportunities in the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area, and more widely on the West Coast.
The submissions will be considered as part of the final strategy.
The draft strategy aims to protect the important natural and cultural values of the area, while allowing safe access, improved facilities and enhanced recreational experiences within the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area.
In recognition of the significance of the Western Tasmania Aboriginal Cultural Landscape and previous decisions not to reopen tracks that had been closed, the strategy is not about opening new tracks or reopening previously closed tracks, but rather about improving existing tracks and facilities.
The draft strategy is focused on developing sustainable management outcomes for off-road vehicle use and delivering an improved experience for users and visitors in the Arthur-Pieman Conservation Area and the broader West Coast.
