5.10 Rock climbing and abseiling
[…]
A permit system monitors levels of use and impact, and is also intended to enhance climbers’ safety. Additional sites for climbing may be permitted under the permit system. To reduce site impact, only ‘clean climbing’ (those techniques which do not damage or deface the rock) will be permitted. There may be a need to define access tracks to prevent the formation of multiple tracks to the top and base of climbs.
[…]
Management strategies
- - Permit rock climbing using ‘clean climbing’ techniques at Little Oberon, Mount Bishop, Mount Oberon, Squeaky Beach Boulders, Turtle Rock and other appropriate sites. Define access tracks as necessary.

5.7 Camping outside the Recreation Zone
There are excellent opportunities for camping in a variety of spectacular natural settings at the remote outstations in the park, and this activity has become increasingly popular. A permit system has been used since the late 1960s. This sets maximum group sizes and lengths of stay to safeguard visitors and their experience, and minimise visitor impacts.
[…]
Management strategies
[…]
- - Maintain a permit system controlling the use of established campsites, incorporating an appropriate system for regulation of boat-based campers and off-track hikers using other locations.
[…]
- - Permit camping by sea kayak parties at designated locations using the ‘off-track’ hiker-permit system.

5.6 Bushwalking
[…]
Although a permit system limits the numbers of overnight walkers, high use levels of the more popular walking routes and campsites in the southern part of the park have necessitated continual maintenance work on the tracks.
[…]
Off-track walking can impact on soils and vegetation through the development of unoffical tracks. This activity is currently managed through a permit system.
[…]
Management strategies
[…]
- - Continue to manage overnight walking through the camping permit system (section 5.7).
- - Manage off-track walking through a permit system, taking into account measures to prevent the spread of Cinnammon Fungus (section 4.7).
