32. SPECIAL EVENTS
The objective is to facilitate special events of national
significance within the Park subject to strict
management guidelines, approvals and post event
rehabilitation.
It is possible that during the life of this Plan that "oneoff"
special events may occur in the region which may
seek to use parts of the Park.
Such events may be permitted to use parts of the Park,
subject to the approval of the NPNCA and subject to
the following:
• The event must be of national significance;
• Strict hygiene requirements to eliminate the risk of
spread of dieback be enforced;
• where appropriate, all activity must comply with the
requirements of a Class 1 Water Catchment, as
approved by the Water Corporation and Water and
Rivers Commission;
• any allowed temporary fixtures, facilities, in support
of such event to be removed from the Park at event
completion;
• any site disturbance (eg a marked trail) to be
removed and rehabilitated at event completion.
