New Permit Required For Mitchell Plateau


[/HR]
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news: 2018 brings an important change for the Mitchell Plateau.

Sadly, from the start of 2018, if you want to visit as an independent traveller, you will need a permit to access the Mitchell Plateau, called the Ngauwudu Road Zone pass.

The pass is valid for five days and for 2018 costs $20 per person.

Yes, unlike the national park passes, which are issued per vehicle, the Ngauwudu Road Zone passes are issued per person. Every passenger of a vehicle needs to buy a pass.

In 2019 that fee will increase to $45 per person!

Here (http://"http://www.wunambalgaambera.org.au/what-is-uvp.htm") and here (http://"http://www.wunambalgaambera.org.au/uvp-landing-page") you can read what the traditional owners say about the permit.

Here is a map of the Ngauwudu Road Zone (http://"https://4wdvictoria.org.au/images/Posters/Ngauwudu-Road-Zone-Map-2018.pdf").

Ngauwudu Road Zone passes can be purchased online here (http://"http://www.wunambalgaambera.org.au/uvp-single-person-packages/uvp-independent-ngauwudu").

(If you are visiting on a commercial tour, your - hopefully UVP-registered - tour operator will organise your pass.)[/quote]

So am I right in thinking it's a permit to use the road? A public road?
