Changes to National Parks Annual Passes

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MEMEBRS

Dear Mr Daintry

 

Changes to National Parks Annual Passes

 

 

As one of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) key stakeholders, I am writing to advise of changes coming to our entry pass products.

 

From 20 April 2021 NPWS annual and someday passes will transition to digital passes which will make it easier for park visitors to pay entry fees, manage and renew passes online, and apply for concessions.


When visitors purchase or renew their annual pass they will be immediately issued with a digital pass that is linked to their vehicle. This means no more waiting for a sticker in the mail to display on their windscreen.

 

Digital day passes are also being introduced at 11 of our most popular parks in Sydney and the Blue Mountains, including Royal, Ku-ring-gai Chase, Kamay Botany Bay, and Sydney Harbour National Parks. Entry fee payment machines in these parks will be linked to a vehicle number plate, meaning a ticket no longer needs to be displayed.

 

The changes to park passes will happen in phases over the next 24 months as current passes expire. All passes, including existing annual passes, remain valid until their expiry date and are still required to be displayed correctly on the vehicle.

 

Eligible pensioners and concession cardholders will continue to be able to apply for entry fee concessions and will now be able to do this online without having to leave home or wait for the mail. Under the new system passes will be linked to a vehicle registered in their name or one at their home address.


More information about improvements to the entry fee program can be found at nswparkspass.info.

 

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me at the office on 02 9542 0632

 

Yours sincerely,


 

Brendon Neilly
