Keep motorcycles off public reserves

Goulburn Mulwaree Council is reminding residents that motorcycles cannot be ridden on public reserves such as Hudson Park, Carr Confoy playing fields and the Wollondilly River Walkway.

It is illegal to ride motorcycles, or drive other vehicles, on all Council parks and reserves. They can negatively impact on the community in a number of ways, including through noise, dust and erosion and to the safety of others using these reserves.

Council is investing significantly in our parks and sporting fields for the enjoyment of all residents and community members, and the use of motorcycles can create significant negative impacts quite quickly.

Police who catch residents undertaking these activities are able to apprehend, arrest and issue penalties to the person found riding illegally.

This reminder comes after a spate of reports of motorcycles being used on reserves, including footage uploaded to private social media pages. Local Police have been notified and asked to undertake further patrols of these areas.
