Update 28 November 2024: Permits for the 2024/25 season have all been allocated.
As part of the agreement, DOC must issue a permit to anyone using the easement.
Permit rules
- Permits for public use are limited to two parties per week.
- A permit covers the party leader and up to four party members.
- Permits are issued for one week, from Friday to Thursday.
- One vehicle is permitted per party, with one trip in and one trip out during the week.
- To ensure as many people as possible have an opportunity, you can only have one permit for the season (either as a party leader or party member). The Party Leader should be the owner of the vehicle.
