Question On Notice No. 609 asked in the Legislative Assembly on 27 October 2022 by Mr R.S. Love

Question Directed to the: Minister for Local Government
Parliament: 41 Session: 1


Question

The Shire of Gingin has proactively worked to “administer” the Control of Vehicles (Off-Road Areas) Act 1978 for decades yet other Local Governments who have ORVA’s in their Local Government areas do nothing:
(a) How is this equitable and why should the Shire of Gingin continue to “Administer” this site on behalf of the State?

Answered on 30 November 2022

(a)   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 Shire has accessed funding from the ORV Account and it remains available to support the Shire. The ORVA provide significant economic benefits to the Shire and local businesses through tourism and other activities.
