Permit conditions
Canning Stock Route (CSR) Permits are granted on the basis that all persons to whom it is issued enter Aboriginal land at their own risk and agree that the landowners or occupiers shall not be liable for any loss, damage or liability of any kind arising out of or in relation to the entry onto Aboriginal land, no matter how much loss, damage or liability arises, whether by fault or default or negligence.
Permission is granted subject to the general conditions contained in this application. Entry permission is automatically revoked if the traveller breaches any general condition. Permission is granted on the condition that the Applicant obeys all directions of Traditional Owners whilst on Aboriginal land. The permission form does not authorise the entry of a person to a dwelling, community or living area belonging to Aboriginal people without the consent of the owner, occupier or community.
The permission form does not authorise the Applicant to discharge a firearm while on Aboriginal land. Unauthorised use of firearms on Aboriginal land is prohibited. The permission form is valid only to enable the Applicant to perform the activities associated with the stated purpose of the visit. The Applicant is aware that any person who excavates, destroys, damages, conceals or in any way alters an Aboriginal site commits an offence against the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.
The penalty for the offence:
for an individual – $20,000 and imprisonment for nine months
for a body corporate – $50,000
The Applicant is aware of the requirement for self-sufficiency and at all times undertakes to uphold ‘tread lightly’ principles. The complete permit document package must be carried at all times within the vehicle. The permit holder must provide the permits for inspection if requested to do so by a representative of the Traditional Owners or a law enforcement officer.
