Rules & Permits IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• You’ll encounter several categories of land when you’re travelling on the Cape. Understanding these will help you know if you can enter that land, what permits or permission you’ll need, and what activities are allowed there. • National parks are protected areas managed by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science. https://www.des.qld.gov.au/
• Some national parks are designated CYPAL (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land). These are protected areas, jointly managed with Traditional Owners. https://www.npsr.qld.gov.au/managing/joint_management _of_cape_york_peninsula_national_parks.html
