I for one am not happy with a permit fee for driving on any beach.
We are told all the time "this beach is a road & road rules apply"
My rego & fuel taxes are supposed to go towards building & maintaining roads already , the government never built the beach/road & this road is maintained by Mother Nature twice a day free of charge.So what are we really paying for.
If there is a problem with Hoons then we already have a Police Force to deal with this, Police hand out fines all the time.Make them pay & pay dearly if you like.They already have the power to confiscate their vehicles & hand out huge fines for this kind of behaviour,Why penalise everyone .I have trouble with Hoons in my street too , so do we also put a permit fee on my street & every other road where Hoons go. This permit is just another MONEY GRAB, & dont think, just because it starts at a reasonable price that you can afford, it will stay reasonable as governments will bring in increases .To my way of thinking this PERMIT is just another name for TOLL & a toll is just another TAX How many more Toll Roads do we want?
This is only my opinion but I reckon i'm not alone.
if you want to pay tolls ever few ks then support this, but dont complain when they put a toll on your street just to slow down the traffic or to make it too expensive for HOONS
I will now get down from my soap box & wait for scathing attacks

both thumbs down
