Build it and they will come.
As Weeds has stated, there are regulatory issues to overcome, but by the number of other parks around, not impossible. I understand that having Motorbikes on the property is the biggest liability issue. THAT said, it won't be too long before the only place a rider can get muddy is on private land, so they will happily pay for the privelage (and cover the increased premiums required). Seperating users (Motor bike/ 4WD and Mountain Bike) have you considered the Mountainbike market?)
It won't be too long before the knuckleheads get all the interesting tracks at Mt. Mee closed and authorities get heavy handed with the foolishness that occurs in the Glasshouse SF area. They will have to go somewhere!!
Mate, I am just kicking off in earnest in the Outdoor Recreation Training world and am very keen to talk to you about the use of your land for Training (4WD, Bushcraft, Bushwalking, Rescue etc.) PM coming your way soon.
If the Open slather model doesn't work and you still want to make some money/ provide access to the tracks, the other option is limited commercial access for people like me or clubs.
