Environmental and cultural interpretation
NPWS expects Parks Eco Pass operators to provide high quality interpretation of the natural environment and culturally appropriate interpretation of historic and Aboriginal heritage. However, we recognise that the level of interpretive content will differ depending on the type of activity. For example, an adventure activity such as abseiling or white water rafting may involve less interpretive content than a guided bushwalk. Provide details of the messages you hope to convey through your tourism/recreation product and the content of your programs.
It is important to note that if you wish to undertake detailed, rather than general, Aboriginal cultural heritage interpretation on country, on site or otherwise, you must employ or otherwise engage members of the relevant Aboriginal community to undertake the interpretation, unless the appropriate representatives of the relevant Aboriginal community have given specific authorisation to the person delivering the detailed Aboriginal cultural heritage interpretation and have approved the content of that interpretation.
General interpretation includes information in the public domain, the traditional name of a place and its meaning and the traditional name(s) of the local Aboriginal communities.
You may only promote or identify yourself as a provider of Aboriginal heritage interpretation if you have engaged a member of the relevant Aboriginal community to undertake that interpretation or have obtained authorisation and approval as outlined above.
