Endurance is the power to withstand something challenging.

Forestry SA Event Application

Changes have been made to the ForestrySA Event Application process from 2019 onwards, as detailed below.

The online booking system will be active from 9.00am on Monday 4 March 2019. Please note ForestrySA will not be taking booking reservations prior to this date. It is recommended activating your booking for Huts / facilities at your earliest convenience once able to do so from 4 March 2019. We appreciate your patience with the potential initial influx of bookings expected.

If not done so already, once the online booking has been made, please forward your completed Application Form, together with required supporting documentation (ie: maps, current Certificate of Currency) to conservationandrecreationranges@forestrysa.com.au for Rangers consideration and approval. Event Application Forms may be downloaded from the ForestrySA websitehttps://www.forestrysa.com.au/recreation/mount-crawford-kuitpo/. If any further information is required regarding your application, the Ranger will contact you (telephone / email), and once all information has been received, an Event Approval Notice will be issued.

If any part of the Application requires further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the Rangers at Kuitpo (T: 8391 8800) / Mt Crawford (T: 8521 1700).

All events will now be invoiced prior to the Event date, with full payment (by Bank Transfer or credit card) required prior to the event. Please note an Approval Notice will not be issued until payment has been received. Therefore, once the Application Form has been received, I will forward an Invoice for your event, based on the attendee numbers nominated + Hut hire fee (as applicable). Camping fees for numbers beyond the Hut occupancy are charged at the standard rate of $5/adult and $2/child (aged 3 – 15 years of age) per night.

Ride Trailer Updated 19th September

Update 19th September – The ride trailer has been taken to Built Tuff Trailers in Gawler for a quote on repairs. The quote will be tabled at SMC next meeting in September.

Dear Members, volunteers and club enthusiasts,

Ride Trailer Update:

The committee is aware rumours are circulating about the absence of the ride trailer so we would like to take this opportunity to provide you with an update.

The committee recently decided to take the trailer off the road for maintenance, repairs and structural warranty issues, which unfortunately labels the trailer as unroadworthy.

We have a “duty of care” to our members to ensure our equipment is safe and meets legal requirements and to minimise potential risks and harm, associated with the use of equipment.

We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused ride organisers and other volunteers wishing to use the trailer. As the season is drawing to a close, we thought this the best time to address these concerns.

We urge you to be patient whilst we are are working through these issues and will provide updates as things progress.

Kind Regards,

SMC
