ATV Committee

In 2018, the Town issued a call for Expressions of Interest for individuals to form the Conception Bay South ATV Advisory Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to provide information and advice to the Town on matters concerning ATV issues. The Committee will devise a plan, including recommendations for the potential development of safe, cost effective and manageable options for ATV enthusiasts.

A Crown Lands Application – License to Occupy, for an ATV route, was submitted in 2022. The application is currently registered and under review. The route can be viewed on the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador Land Use Atlas. 

Feedback on this application can be e-mail to easternlandsoffice@gov.nl.ca, citing application #160169. 

The Committee, made up of local ATV enthusiasts, has been in place since September 2018 and meets regularly in collaboration with Town ataff and Council. In the future, subcommittees will be in place to work on specific projects and initiatives.
