Permits at Christmas Island
Christmas Island National Park is a Commonwealth reserve established under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (the EPBC Act) to manage the environment of the region for the benefit of all people, present and future.
When a permit is needed
All commercial film crews, still photographers, artists and sound recorders will need to apply for a permit to carry out commercial work in the park.
If the story has been deemed ‘news of the day’ by the park manager, news media are not required to have a permit. A commercial permit may be required to use an existing image of the park for a commercial purpose. This also applies to media outlets.
