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.
