Description
The Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPaW) supports and encourages both private and
commercial filming and photography on DPaW-managed land and waters that promotes an
appreciation and respect of the conservation, environmental and cultural values of the area
being photographed or filmed.
DPaW supports and encourages all types of photography and filming on DPaW-managed land
and waters. Taking photographs and filming for private purposes in national parks, conservation
parks, marine parks and other DPaW-managed reserves are encouraged as a passive
recreation activity. These activities are rewarding, and often, these images and recordings
provide wonderful and long lasting memories.
Commercial filming and photography is likewise encouraged and supported. DPaW recognises
the significant contribution it can make towards boosting tourism in the state, raising awareness
of environmental and conservation issues, and promoting the appreciation of the natural
environment, Indigenous and non-indigenous cultural heritage.
