These policies relate to the implementation of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 and accompanying regulations, and the Wilderness Act 1987. They cover:
- how visitors should behave in national parks and reserves to protect native plants, animals and ecosystems
- the responsibilities of National Parks and Wildlife Service, businesses operating in reserves, neighbours and visitors.
We review policies from time to time to keep them current.
