TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House the threatened loss of horse riding enthusiasts’ rights to ride horses in South East Queensland State Forests. We are concerned that the loss of such access will result in horse riders being forced to ride on roads which will create safety risks to both riders and motorists. Your petitioners therefore request the House to make provision in the proposed new tenure for Forest Reserves to have the existing fire trails and degraded tracks set aside as Conservation Park Corridors.
