Landcare Queensland will partner with Motorcycling Queensland to repair and protect the environment on and around motorcycling event sites throughout Queensland in 2010.
Motorcycling Queensland will introduce an environmental levy to event registration fees in a proactive commitment to mitigating the impacts of their sport while also supporting the Landcare movement.
The $1 levy fee will be introduced to all Motorcycling Queensland event registrations from the January 1, 2010, and with over 1000 events sanctioned by Motorcycling Queensland each year it is estimated that around $60,000 will be generated annually.
The funds will be contributed to on-ground environmental reparation projects and will be carried out by Landcare groups on and around motorcycling event sites in Queensland.
The dollar figure has been calculated based on carbon emissions produced by riders across a wide range of events.
On average, it is estimated that at a two day event each rider consumes 12 litres of fuel.
