These existing tracks already have a demonstrated value to the mountain biking community. By formalising these existing tracks and incorporating them into the proposed network, the proposal would reduce the likelihood of new unsanctioned tracks being created. By creating a formalised track network, the proposal would enable National Parks and Wildlife Service to close and rehabilitate the remaining unsanctioned tracks.
Impacts of new tracks have been reduced by careful assessment and planning of tracks to avoid areas of the highest ecological value.
