Permits
Filming/Photography Permit
If you wish to undertake any commercial or some amateur filming or photography within a Northern Territory Park or Reserve managed by the Department of Natural Resources, Environment, The Arts and Sport you will be required to obtain a permit.
Filming or photography in Parks or Reserves for news and current affairs purposes does not require a permit but news outlets are required to contact the Department’s media liaison officer on 0437 915 366 to ensure the rangers on duty are aware of the request.
All applications for a filming permit must be accompanied by a current ‘Certificate of Currency” from an insurance company for Public Liability Insurance. The certificate must be in the applicant’s name and cover the applicant for a minimum value of $10,000,000 (ten million dollars) and must cover the dates that you will be entering the park or reserve. Permits will not be approved without the provision of this document.
Some Parks and Reserves are jointly managed by Aboriginal Traditional Owners and permits for these may have to be assessed by a board. Please allow for these sorts of delays when applying.
A fee of $25 applies to this permit.
