Vic Parks Camping Fee Proposal 28-Nov-2013 At 9:22:40 AM Sabu

Message

I received a reply from the Department of Environment and Primary Industries the other day. Below is the main paragraph in relation to the proposal:

>The proposed fee structure for camping and roofed accommodation will make sure that
>the costs of providing and maintaining safe visitor friendly facilities and services are
>sustainable and affordable for campers. The proposed fees will reflect the costs of
>managing campsites, as even the most basic camp site requires periodic maintenance
>to ensure it is safe, accessible and to minimise impacts on park values. The revenue
>generated by the proposed fees will be reinvested back into Victoria's national parks,
>allowing Parks Victoria to maintain campgrounds and roofed accommodation in
>national and state parks to a high standard into the future.
