Permission to Roam.
Roava is being developed to make legitimate access to private land easier to discover, arrange and manage. The platform connects landowners with people looking for new places to explore, creating a better experience for recreational users while giving landowners control over access to their property.
The opportunity
There’s a whole world out there. Getting access is the hard part.
Australia has enormous areas of privately owned land with tracks, trails, landscapes and recreational potential.
For people looking to explore, finding legitimate access can be difficult.
For landowners, opening their property to visitors creates questions around permissions, safety, security, liability and property management.
Roava is being developed to make that relationship easier for both sides.
The platform
Access on the landowner's terms.
Roava is a permission-based marketplace.
Landowners decide whether access is available, when it is available, which activities are permitted and what conditions apply.
Recreational users gain a way to discover participating properties, understand the rules and arrange legitimate access.
The landowner remains in control of their property.
The experience
Make getting out there easier.
Finding a new place to explore should be exciting, not unnecessarily complicated.
Roava is being designed to help users discover participating properties, plan their visit and understand the conditions of access before they arrive.
For landowners, the platform aims to make managing visitors, communicating rules and offering access more practical.
The marketplace needs to work for both sides.
What matters
Experience. Access. Security. Safety.
Experience
Make discovering and visiting new places simple and rewarding.
Access
Create legitimate opportunities for recreational access to participating properties.
Security
Give landowners visibility and control over who can access their land.
Safety
Improve information, communication and accountability for everyone involved.
The future
Starting in Australia. Thinking beyond it.
Roava is being developed for the Australian market first.
The underlying challenge of managing recreational access to private land exists in many countries.
The initial focus is on developing and proving the model locally, with the potential to expand into international markets over time.
