The Nyangumarta Permit System

If you are wishing to visit Nyangumarta country, you will first need to apply for a permit. The Nyangumarta Permit system facilitates regulated access for tourists, visitors, media, researchers, other workers and those undertaking special projects. Permits vary in cost and are rarely refused.

The Nyangumarta Permit System is essentially about asking before visiting and enabling NWAC to have oversight of who is visiting (and what activities are occurring) on country.

NWAC is authorised to issue Permits in the region to ensure compliance with all relevant laws.

The Nyangumarta Permit System applies to the ‘exclusive possession’ part of the Nyangumarta People (Part A) native title determination, shown below. Entry to this area without the right Permit can result in Nyangumarta exercising their right to exclude people from their land under the law of trespass. NWAC is authorised to issue Permits in the region to ensure compliance with all relevant laws.

All queries regarding Permits are to be directed to: land.access@nwac.org.au

Please carefully read the information in the Frequently Asked Questions document to understand what Permit you might require and ensure your Permit is processed without unnecessary delays.
