Vehicles on Our Beaches

Driving on beaches is a popular activity in north Queensland for boaties, swimmers, and explorers.

Beaches in the Burdekin and Townsville regions are under increasing pressure from vehicle use.

Public safety concerns are also rising.

Off-roaders Take To The Strand

29 October 2010

Driving on beaches is a popular activity in north Queensland for boaties, swimmers, and explorers.

Beaches in the Burdekin and Townsville regions are under increasing pressure from vehicle use.

Public safety concerns are also rising.

A group established by natural resource management body NQ Dry Tropics is helping to reduce the risks 4WDs, quad bikes and motorbikes pose to beach users, cultural sites and plants and animals.
