Please everyone send a favourable reply to this draft, I'm sure many of us would be more inclined to visit Tasmania if this is implemented.

Draft Tasmanian Mountain Bike Plan Released for Public Comment

Sport and Recreation Tasmania has released a Draft Tasmanian Mountain Bike Plan for public comment. Individuals and organisations wishing to provide comment on the Draft Mountain Bike Plan have until 11 October 2009 to provide their submissions.

The Project

Sport and Recreation Tasmania recently engaged consultants from Inspiring Place to develop a state mountain bike plan for Tasmania. The plan, which is expected to be released in August 2009, will provide a framework for the coordinated development and marketing of mountain bike opportunities in Tasmania.

We need to get these people to do a proposal for NSW.

Also much of the draft can be reused in future advocacy work, so maybe even save the pdf

Individuals wishing to provide comment on the Draft Mountain Bike Plan should e-mail the consultants preparing the plan at [email protected] or write to Tasmanian Mountain Bike Plan, Inspiring Place, 208b Collins St, Hobart 7000, by 11 October 2009.

I've just sent in comments on this. Wouldn't you be more likely to visit Tassie if there were great trails to sample? And they were easy to find and well publicised? Smiling
