If a geocache has co-ordinates that place it inside a Geocaching Zone marked as being under the control of NSW NPWS the following message will be displayed to the cache owner.
NSW NATIONAL PARKS AND WILDLIFE SERVICE ZONE: This cache is in an area marked as a NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service area.
This may mean your cache is placed in an area where geocaching requires permission to be granted by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Please review the details and policies for this zone and act accordingly.
Upload a scanned or photographed copy of the permission form provided by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. Please note that the image is not publicly viewable. It is only viewable by the cache owner and the site administrators. The site administrators will only view this image in the event of a contact from NSW NPWS in the event of a query about the cache placement. This action will automatically set your cache listing to have been deemed to have adequate permission. There is no further interaction from the Geocaching Australia website or administrators.
If you believe the geocache is NOT inside an area controlled by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, click on the appropriate link, read and agree to the terms and conditions, and an exemption is granted automatically. This text and checkbox is only visible if the cache is in a zone controlled by NSW NPWS. This action will automatically set your cache listing to have been deemed to have adequate permission. There is no further interaction from the Geocaching Australia website or administrators.
If you attempt to publish a cache that has co-ordinates that place it inside a Geocaching Zone marked as being under the control of NSW NPWS and you have not provided a scanned copy of the permission form OR declared a self exemption, the following message will be displayed to the cache owner. The cache will not be available for publishing until permission or exemption is done.
Please note that any cache placements are your legal responsibility.
