Will the Minister please detail scheduled development and upgrade works at Off Road Vehicle Areas in 2023 and beyond and detail funds to be expended.?
Answered on 14 February 2023
The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) regularly seeks input from each of the land managers of off-road vehicle (ORV) areas on the necessary maintenance and upgrades required at their ORV areas to provide a quality and safe experience for riders.
Since the 2020/21 Financial Year, $336,245 from the ORV Special Purpose Account has been released, including funding for maintenance and upgrades across the Local Government areas of the Shire of Gingin, Shire of York and City of Wanneroo
The importance of key ORV areas such as Lancelin are recognised through Financial Assistance Grants and attract additional funding in those local government’s calculations. For example, additional funding is provided to the Shire of Gingin due to their management of ORV sites totalling approximately $80,000.
