Well, being someone who spends a significant amount of time out in the brambles, I have to say I don't think this causes much/any damage of any significance. Most of the time they are just using cutlines, pipelines (trees are cut down along the route of pipelines for access purposes) and roads made for logging and oil & gas exploration.
These guys don't really make new roads, just re-use roads made by industry.
