Hi Everybody

I was directed to this Forum by some Bikers on the 4x4 Community Forum. I'm part of an organisation called ADORE (see some info below). We have seats on the newly established Protected Area Advisory Committee (PAAC) for Atlantis Dunes.

To cut a long story short, this an appeal to the Offroad Biker community, who make use of Atlantis Dunes, to get in touch with ADORE for the purpose of applying for a seat on the PAAC in order for your interests to be protected. We have reason to believe that there are certain elements that would rather not have bikes in the dunes. ADORE regards this as unfair & would like to assist you in any way we can.

Many thanks,

Neil
ADORE


ADORE Background

The Atlantis Dunes Off-Road Executive committee (ADORE) was formed in October 2011 in
response to the perceived threat of closure of the Atlantis Dunes by the proposed
proclamation of a Contractual Nature Reserve. The mandate of the committee was to
ensure sustainable recreational use of the Atlantis Dunes by motorised recreational off-road
vehicles. The committee has successfully engaged with and developed relationships with
various Branches of the City of Cape Town to ensure that it meets its mandate.

We have received written confirmation from the City of Cape Town’s Biodiversity Branch that:
- ADORE has been recognised as an Interested and Affected Party in terms of the
proclamation of the proposed Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserve.
- Off-roading will be included in the Draft Integrated Management Plan as an historical
activity.
- Off-roading will be included in a subsidiary activity plan, as an addendum to the
Integrated Management Plan for the Witzands Aquifer Nature Reserve.
