 Jeff BOURMAN (Eastern Victoria) presented a petition bearing 3192 signatures:

The Petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the urgent call for Parks Victoria and the Victorian Government to recommit much needed funding to ensure that our bush tracks are well maintained and kept open.

The Petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to urgently review the current strategic plan and ensure that the Victorian 4X4 community has access to tracks which are available for visitors to safely access remote parts of our parks through the year.

Jeff BOURMAN: As this is a petition qualifying for debate under standing order 11.03(10), I give notice that I intend to move ‘That the petition be taken into consideration’ on Wednesday of next sitting week.
