Wunambal Gaambera Uunguu people (native title holders) require that from January 1, 2018 all Tour Operators require a valid UVP Registration to secure Traditional Owner permission for their passengers to access Visitor Locations on Wunambal Gaambera Country (see maps). Every tour passenger must be covered by a valid UVP, purchased by their Tour Operator, prior to entry to Wunambal Gaambera Country.
Only Registered Uunguu Tour Operators can purchase Uunguu Visitor Passes (UVPs) for their tour passengers. (Crew members do not require a UVP.)

Successful applicants will be issued an Interim Registration Certificate and an invoice to pay the relevant UVP Fee within 28 days (see the fee table below). On receipt of payment, WGAC will replace the Interim Registration Certificate with a UVP Registration Certificate valid for five (5) years, subject to compliance with the Tour Operators Terms and Conditions
Registered Uunguu Tour Operators will be required to update registration details by February 28 annually and promptly advise WGAC of any further registration changes or non compliance with Tour Operators' Terms and Conditions.
