Track Classification

A classification system for 4WD tracks on Public Land across Victoria has been developed by an advisory group representing Parks Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and Four Wheel Drive Victoria featuring:

  • Four level colour coded system indicating degree of difficulty
  • Standard symbols to show easy to very difficult tracks
  • General descriptions to guide drivers

Things to consider:

  • The tracks have been classified for dry conditions and most medium, difficult and very difficult tracks will be more difficult in wet weather
  • Recovery equipment is advisory only and is not mandatory, but recommended in line with Tourism Adventure Activity Standards
  • Inexperienced drivers may require further training for more difficult tracks

Read about the Recreational Track Classification and find out how tracks are rated.
