Off-road Vehicles Area Grants Program — Establishment and Major Upgrade

Helping local governments develop or upgrade off-road vehicle sites in WA.

The major funding initiative will help local governments meet the growing demand for safe, high quality recreational facilities for all-terrain vehicles, trail bikes and quad bikes.

Providing dedicated off-road vehicle (ORV) areas also helps riders stay away from environmentally or culturally sensitive areas such as national parks.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the program, applicants must:

  • be a local government within Western Australia (local governments may propose to partner with other organisations to deliver works and/or operate the ORV area)
  • if a joint submission between two or more local governments is made, propose how each local government will contribute to the project and what portion each will fund and/or deliver
  • if a submission involves a partner other than a local government, propose how each project partner will contribute to the project and what portion each will fund and/or deliver
  • be able to demonstrate capacity to deliver the construction of a new ORV area, or major works at an existing permitted ORV area within the relevant local government district
  • provide evidence of support (or absence of opposition) for the proposal across relevant state agencies
  • provide a clear project plan with itemised eligible costs
  • provide a process of how public consultation will occur if funding is recommended.

Applications that demonstrate significant in-kind commitments from the applicant (such as internal capability to obtain relevant statutory approvals and complete civil construction work) will be favourably considered.
