Uunguu Visitor Pass – Registration Application for Tour Operators
with Wunambal Gaambera Aboriginal Corporation (WGAC)
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.)
Wunambal Gaambera people welcome guests, passengers and crew of registered Uunguu Tour Operators. |
