What is a Local Outdoor Access Forum
The Moray Council has a statutory duty to establish at least one Local Outdoor Access Forum (L.O.A.F.) in its area.
The Council has set up one L.O.A.F. covering the whole of Moray.
The L.O.A.F. is an advisory body to the Council in its role as the Area Access Authority. It has no executive powers but plays an important consultative and consensus building role on outdoor access related matters across Moray. This includes involvement in:
The Forum 'Core' Members
The Forum sets its own remit with the emphasis on practical and achievable aims and targets.
The Forum has 20 ‘core’ members with equal representation from 4 peer groups as follows:
It is recognised that not everyone will want to be a ‘core’ member of the Forum but would still like to be involved in some way. You are welcome to join a ‘friends’ scheme' that has been set up to facilitate wider involvement through information exchange accommodating a less exclusive, more open and transparent process.
If you have any access issues which you would like addressed or would like to attend one of the Forum meetings then please
