Update to Park Passes for entry to national parks from 1 January 2021 | Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park

Thursday 10 December 2020

Heavy rainfall impacted Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park yesterday. It resulted in water over a number of roads and a closure of the park for safety.

The park has reopened to visitors and we’re pleased to advise that the Uluṟu Ring Road and the Muṯitjulu Waterhole access road have reopened.

There is still water over the road in several locations and motorists are advised to proceed with caution. Road closures for Tjukaruru Road (Docker River Road) at the Kata-Tjuṯa Road intersection remain in place. For more information and latest advice visit Road Report NT.

All walking tracks are open however we ask visitors to exercise caution, remain on marked tracks and paths at all times and take care on potentially slippery surfaces.

We thank visitors and tourism operators for their patience, understanding and continued support during this weather event.

The Australian Government’s fee waiver period for Booderee, Kakadu and Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Parks is coming to a close on 31 December 2020.

For visits from 1 January 2021, visitors will need to purchase a park pass to enter Booderee, Kakadu and Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Parks.

Your park pass helps us maintain the park’s facilities, preserve its cultural and natural values and support Traditional Owners and their community.

From 1 January, we’re also introducing a new park use fee structure for Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park as follows:

$38 adult three-day park pass
$50 adult annual pass
$109 Northern Territory annual vehicle fee

We’re also streamlining the park pass fee structure by removing the family and children’s park use fee for Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park and extending free entry to those aged under 18 years old.

That means kids go free at Uluṟu, making it even easier for families to visit this world-renowned icon.

With more and more Australian’s taking a Holiday Here This Year, we encourage everyone to plan ahead and save time by buying your park pass online.
