Black Duck Valley is closed to customers. This petition to The Honourable Judy Spence Minister Department of Sport and Recreation has been started by individuals hoping to continue the operation of the facility: Petition Online link.can be accessed and signed here. Black Duck Valley has been a sports and recreational facility for motocross riders. Queensland population, particularly in the south-east, has grown exponentially, and sales of motocross bikes has also increased, but riders now have fewer facilities then a few years ago. Not all people are unhappy about the closure as this archived information shows.
Another petition is available to sign at motor bike shops in Ballina, Byron Bay and Lismore. See the petition for its originator's details. Sports and recreation facilities and other outdoor activities such as bushwalking and birdwatching all require space allocations. Check out the draft SEQ Regional Plan and the draft state planning regulatory provisions which are open for submissions from December 2008 to 3 April 2009. After a review of the submissions, an updated SEQ Regional Plan will be finalised in July 2009. Take part in planning for your future and make a submission.
