Please Note Permit Requirements
Please Note Permit Requirements
We have been advised from NPSR of the following: all vehicles participating in your training activities in the recreation area will now be required to obtain a relevant vehicle activity permit. Prior to this point our commercial operators permit and a daily use fee paid by us, has covered the cost of your vehicle access to Bribie Island to participate in our training.
As such we will now require you to purchase a vehicle access permit for your vehicle in order to take part in this training. These are at a cost of $40.35. These can be ordered on line at http://parks.npsr.qld.gov.au.
You will need to purchase you permit prior to arriving for the course at 7.15am as unfortunately there is insufficient time for you to purchase a permit on the morning of the course.
What happens on the day?
Times: 7.15 am to 11.30 am approx. This entire course is practical “driving” in a sand specific environment. Following completion of the course you can spend the remainder of the day 4WDing on the beach. This will reinforce the skills acquired in the Sand Course.
What do I need to bring?
Bring your own 4WD with a full tank of fuel and tyre pressure gauge.
Meals: Bring along a morning tea and adequate drinking water.
Chairs: Folding chair is also required.
Clothing: Sturdy outdoor attire, appropriate footwear suited for sand, a great hat suited for outdoor activities and sunscreen.
