Adventure Activity Standards in QLD

Hello Queenslanders (and the rest of you).

QORF (Queensland Outdoor Recreation Ferderation) acting on behalf of the Dept of Sport and Rec are currently holding community discussion about the Adventure Activity Standards that will soon be started in QLD.

The AAS applies (if we are to assume that what has happened elsewhere will happen in QLD) only when there is a dependant relationship ie; a leader and clients, or group being lead. (such as a 4wd trip). It does not apply exclusively to commercial operations.

The AAS have been implimented in most other states, and this is your chance to have a say in their formation in QLD.

The workshop schedule can be downloaded from here

Dear Dave,

QORF is about to commence Adventure Activity Standards consultation and as part of this stage of the Project, we would be appreciative if you would assist in circulating workshop schedules to parties you perceive to be relevant.

A vital part of the project involves QORF consulting with industry in order to gain feedback and comment for the development of the AAS. Such input is highly valued as it enables the AAS to be relevant and representative of industry needs and ultimately will enhance the quality of the AAS. QORF is conducting a number of state-wide workshops to facilitate face-to-face discussion and receive feedback on the AAS development process. These free workshops are open to the general public. (Details are provided in the attachment to this email.) Alternatively, feedback can be delivered via the internet (qaas@qorf.org.au).

It would be greatly appreciated if you could please forward this information to your respective affiliates via your own organisational database(s).

Thank you in advance for your assistance. Should you have any queries regarding the project, please feel free to contact QORF.
