Machines that sell parks passes have been rolled out in some of the most remote areas of Tasmania.
Parks Minister Nick Duigan said 20 pay and display machines, similar to those for parking found in the city, have been rolled out across a range of sites.
“We are moving with the times, recognising the old deposit style boxes that require exact cash to be deposited in envelopes is simply not a convenient option for many people,” he said.
“This is providing greater convenience for locals and visitors to purchase a parkspass or pay for camping fees.”
He said the technology will allow for those making “impromptu visits” to easily acquire the required passes for their trips.
The machines can be found at Mount William National Park, the Tasman Peninsula, Bruny Island, Mount Field National Park and Hartz Mountains.
Cockle Creek, Cradle Mountain, Arthur River, Black River campground, Freycinet National Park, Douglas Apsley National Park and Narawntapu National Park also have one.
They join the four already existing at the Wineglass Bay car park, Cradle Mountain gateway, Jetty Beach campground and Fortescue Bay.
