| What is Outdoor Recreation? |
Outdoor recreation activities have been defined as those activities that:
|
 | are undertaken outside the confines of buildings (ie, in the outdoors); and | |
do not involve organised competition or formal rules; and | |
can be undertaken without the existence of any built facility or infrastructure; and | |
may require large areas of land, water and/or air; and | |
may require outdoor areas of predominantly unmodified natural landscape. |
|
Facilities, site modification or infrastructure may be provided to manage the impacts generated by the activities. However, outdoor recreation activities can be undertaken without facilities, site modification or infrastructure.
