The ecosystems of our forests, parks and reserves are fragile, and taking motorised vehicles through native vegetation can destroy wildlife habitat and create soil erosion. Show
Damaging wildlife habitat through off-road motorcycle riding or driving can have a significant impact on native animals – and this is why the offence carries a fine of more than $8000. In particular, walking tracks and trails are not designed for trail bikes as their surface and drainage can be easily damaged. What is the safety risk posed by off-road vehicle use?Drivers and Riders who illegally take their vehicles off formed roads and tracks not only risk their own safety, but pose a danger to those exploring the bushland on foot. We want people who are hiking, bushwalking and camping in our forests to be safe – and that’s why it’s a serious offence to take motorised vehicles off-road and put the safety of others at risk. It’s important that together, we maintain a safe environment in our forests for all community members to enjoy. Why are seasonal road closures put in place? While road users can make the most of Victoria’s road network in state forests and parks for most of the year, sections of this network would rapidly deteriorate if they were used during the wetter months. Some roads in state forest and parks are temporarily closed across winter to prevent serious road damage, and it’s an offence to travel on these roads when they have been closed. How is the Conservation Regulator monitoring compliance?Our authorised officers conduct frequent patrols and use advanced surveillance technology to identify illegal off-road driving and riding. As part of patrols, officers speak to motorists to ensure they are aware of the rules and regulations around driving in state forests, parks and reserves. We welcome the community’s help to protect our state forests, parks and reserves. If you witness illegal vehicle use on public land, report it by phone: 136 186. Recreational trail and quad bike riding are enjoyable activities with physical activity and social benefits for riders. Most riders value the same experiences that attract bushwalkers, mountain bike riders and horse riders: enjoying the outdoors, physical challenge and quality time with friends and family. Recreational trail bike and quad bike riders need to know how to access safe, well-designed and managed trails and off-road vehicle (ORV) areas. Friends and families can join in activities at specially set up sites which can cater for motocross, freestyle, enduro, trial bike, quad bike and pee-wee riders. For more information about trail bike and quad bike riding, you can contact these WA clubs and associations: In this document, the term trail bike is used to refer to all trail, adventure, motocross, quad and mini-bikes that can used off-road on a dirt or gravel road, track or trail. Where can I ride?ORV-registered trail bikes and quad bikes or any trail bike being ridden by anyone without a WA motorcycle licence can only be legally ridden in permitted ORV areas. Any trail or quad bike can be ridden on a private property with the owner’s permission. Trail bikes do not need to be registered and riders do not need to hold a license to ride on private property. Road-registered trail bikes can be ridden by anyone with a WA motorcycle licence, or other permitted national or domestic licence, on any open public road. Some roads and tracks within reserves, State forests and national parks will be closed to all vehicles. Drinking water catchments are generally prohibited areas. If you are in doubt, please refer to signage and/or speak to the relevant authority. There is no specific licence for trail or quad bike riders however riders must be over eight years of age.

These include: To summarise, the table below shows whether a driver’s (motorcycle) licence is needed and what type of vehicle registration is required to access different types of areas.
Are there places I can’t ride?It’s against the law to ride a trail bike or quad off-road in any area described as prohibited in the Control of Vehicles (Off-road Areas) Act 1978 and in any area designated as prohibited by local government. Prohibited areas include riding off-road in national parks, nature reserves and drinking water catchments. Prohibited areas are highlighted on the online map available on the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries website. Some roads and tracks within reserves, State forests and national parks are closed to the public, without exception. Drinking water catchments are generally prohibited areas. If you are in doubt, please refer to signage and/or speak to the relevant authority. In addition, unlicensed off-road vehicles are prohibited from crossing or travelling along public roads. A conditional licence to allow the crossing of roads or to compete in authorised events, can be issued by the Department of Transport. Trail bike registrationBefore an unlicensed off-road vehicle (i.e. any trail bike not licensed for use on public roads under the Road Traffic Act) can be used in a permitted ORV area, it must have ORV registration issued by the Department of Transport. Registration of your trail or quad bike will enable you to ride legally in permitted ORV areas managed by the State Government and local governments. Your registration fees will go in a special purpose account that is used to create and maintain ORV areas across WA. Your WA trail bike registration will also help you recover your bike if it is stolen. There is no compulsory third part insurance provided with ORV registration. More information about registering your bike. Breaking the rulesPenalties for riding the wrong bike in the wrong place or without the correct vehicle registration or motorcycle license is costly. There are fines of up to $2000 for the unauthorised use of a vehicle on public land. Local government rangers and police can confiscate trail or quad bikes when they believe the vehicle is involved in an offence (such being illegally ridden on a public road) or if the rider is unable to prove ownership. SafetyRiders are responsible for their own safety and as off-road riding can be a high-adrenaline activity, riders always need to be alert. Riders should wear appropriate protective clothing including long pants, long-sleeve shirts, boots and an approved helmet. Where can you ride dirt bikes in WA?Permitted off-road vehicle areas in WA
