Parks Eco Pass activity and location conditions

This spreadsheet outlines the specific conditions that apply to each activity at each park – for example, limits on group size, access restrictions, required safety measures, or seasonal constraints. These conditions help ensure that approved activities are carried out safely and in a way that protects the park’s natural and cultural values. The spreadsheet is reviewed quarterly by NPWS Park Operations staff and updated as required. Any changes will be communicated to Parks Eco Pass operators.

The document also contains a permissibility matrix that outlines which activities may be permitted (conditions may apply), are not permitted, or are not applicable to the park. It is based on each park’s plan of management and helps to quickly identify whether an activity can be considered at that location.

May be permitted – what it means

  • The activity is eligible for consideration in the park.
  • NPWS may approve if after reviewing the operator’s application and the park’s plan of management.
  • It is not automatic approval – the operator must still meet policy, safety, environmental, cultural and operational requirements.

Not permitted – what it means

  • The activity cannot be approved at that location under any circumstances.
  • NPWS has determined it is incompatible with the park.

Not applicable to the park – what it means

  • The activity is not relevant to this park or reserve because the environment or facilities don’t support it.
