Secure Insurance for All 4x4 Parks to Remain Open in Australia


Secure Insurance for All 4x4 Parks to Remain Open in Australia
The issue
I am an avid off-road enthusiast, and like many others, the 4wd Parks of Australia hold a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, these parks are facing closure as insurers in Australia won’t cover 4x4 activities. This is not just about our hobby; it's about preserving a part of our culture and lifestyle that has been cherished by generations.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics reports that over half a million Australians participate in off-road activities annually (ABS, 2016). These parks provide safe and controlled environments for families and individuals to enjoy this pastime while also contributing significantly to local economies through tourism.
However, without insurance coverage, the future of these beloved parks is uncertain. We believe it's crucial for insurance companies to reconsider their stance on covering 4x4 parks and there activities within these parks. By doing so, they would be supporting not only the thousands who enjoy this activity but also the small businesses that rely on them.
The ripple effect will have a significant impact on the $3billion aftermarket accessories industry, it will force off roaders into illegal areas and will have a huge impact on local economy not to mention the family owned business that will crumble and leave broken families in its wake!
We urge you to sign this petition calling upon insurance companies to provide coverage for all 4x4 parks across Australia. Let us ensure that these places remain open for future generations to enjoy!
