I WOULD like to draw the reader's attention to Belmont Wetlands State Parks limited access options. The current arrangements effectively preclude access for those of us that are mobility challenged or from lower income families.

Over the last few years the park has been developed as a 4WD recreation and amusement facility at the expense of most other user groups. The primary access to the park's centrepiece, Jewells Beach, is to a two-kilometre dirt road, readily usable by two wheel drive vehicles.
