Trail bikes—complaints
(Question No 1143)
Mr Pratt asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, upon notice, on 11 May 2006:
(1) How many trail bike riders have been charged with illegal riding in nature parks in the ACT for each month of the 2005-2006 financial year to date;
(2) What offences have those illegal riders been charged with;
(3) How many complaints have been received regarding illegal trail bike riders in the ACT for each month of the 2005-2006 financial year to date;
(4) Were ACT Policing officers involved in the recent operation by NSW Police and the National Parks and Wildlife Service targeting illegal trail bike riders in the areas surrounding Canberra; if so, in what capacity did they participate; if not, why not.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) There is no specific offence category that relates only to trail bike riders for reporting purposes. Therefore, in order to identify incidents and offences involving only trail bike riders requires manual data extraction and examination of individual records which would require a significant and protracted commitment of resources, and is not possible within the required timeframe.
(2) Refer to the answer to Question 1.
(3) Refer to the answer to Question 1.
(4) ACT Policing was not involved as the area covered is not within the ACT’s jurisdiction.
