National parks and camping
Campers are reminded that the facilities at most of the campgrounds across the State are basic. Campers need to ensure they are self-sufficient and able to maintain good personal hygiene by carrying their own handwashing equipment and materials. People are urged to continue to observe social distancing requirements at campgrounds. The four square metres of space per person rule, with particular attention to shared facilities and areas such as ablutions, sheltered barbecues and other communal areas, must be followed.
