Polaris Australia & BRP Australia are pleased to announced
the establishment of the Australasian Off Road Vehicle Association
(AORVA), a new legal entity with a national focus on fostering the
healthy growth of ATV and Side x Side Vehicle (SSV) recreation
throughout Australasia.
AORVA will be an independent and not-for-profit organization
which will lobby all levels of government to overcome current
limitations around land access for recreational riders, with the
goal of achieving legislative change to allow the same recreational
access for ATVs and Side x Sides which is currently afforded to
trail bikes and 4WD's in allocated national parks and state
forests.
Work to increase recreational riding opportunities in various
regions and areas has already begun.
The key mission of AORVA is to promote the safe and responsible
use of ATVs and Side x Side vehicles and to collaborate with local
and state agencies to gain fair access for users, whilst also
promoting the significant social, physical and emotional benefits
of outdoor recreation.
Ultimately, AORVA seeks to become the voice of off-road vehicle
users across Australasia and to provide a structured, safe and
enjoyable riding experience for its members. Benefits of membership
include access to AORVA ride locations map, Code of Conduct and
access privileges, email newsletters and event calendar updates and
AORVA member website login, with insurance also slated to be
included in the membership package in future.
"Can-Am has outstanding recreational products, so we are
obviously very supportive of AORVA's formation because so many of
our customers miss out on recreational opportunities in Australia
just because they have never had a coordinated voice," said General
Manager of BRP Australia, Gregoire Dupont.
These sentiments were also echoed by Managing Director of
Polaris Australia, Peter Alexander.
"It's all about providing riding opportunities for our
customers. Our customers will love the creation of AORVA as it
strives to create responsible riding opportunities all over
Australia and the chance for them to enjoy all the benefits of
their products in the most structured and safest way possible," he
said.
As a special introductory offer, AORVA is offering free
membership to ATV and SSV users until 31st December, 2015.
