The hunting permit status of this restricted block is under review
We are reviewing the status of this hunting block to decide if it should stay restricted or change to the open permit system. This review is part of our broader hunting permit upgrade.
Where possible we want to maximise hunting opportunities by making getting a hunting permit fast and easy. We want to ensure any rules hunters need to follow are simple, clear and easy to understand.
The review is guided by the access charter for recreational hunting and fishing on public conservation land and waters.
