Exemption from Vehicle Access Permit (VAP) fee

Residents, landholders, close relative visiting a permanent resident within the recreation area, educational groups and workers who need to travel through a recreation area may be eligible for a vehicle access permit fee exemption.

Vehicle access permits are not required for:

• emergency vehicles
• Commonwealth, State and Local government vehicles (when used for official purposes)
• vehicles authorised under a commercial activity permit or agreement
• Inskip Peninsula or Green Island recreation areas.

Applicants must meet eligibility criteria. Refer to the Fee exemptions for vehicle access permits on QPWS managed recreation areas operational policy for information on eligibility criteria requirements. Fee exemptions are not automatically renewed, so annual permit holders must apply for a fee exemption each year prior to their permit expiring.

Providing false or misleading information for a permit application is an offence. The maximum penalty is 100 penalty units.
