Proposal to alter the boundary of the Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta

• Glenthorne National Park-Ityamaiitpinna Yarta is currently the subject of a significant investment program, including construct of the Sam Willoughby BMX Facility adjacent to Majors Road. For safety reasons, access to the site is required to be via a slip lane. There is insufficient space within the existing road reserve to create the necessary slip lane and it is proposed to remove a small portion of land from the existing national park to make allowance for the slip lane. It is considered to be a minor amendment to the park to allow for the creation of road and seen to be an important safety aspect for future use of park facilities.
