Tour Operators

Uunguu Visitor Pass – Registration Application for Tour Operators with Wunambal Gaambera Aboriginal Corporation (WGAC)

Wunambal Gaambera Traditional Owners (native title holders) require that from 1st January, 2018 all Tour Operators obtain a valid UVP Registration to secure Traditional Owner permission for their passengers to access Visitor Locations on Wunambal Gaambera Country (see maps). Every tour passenger must be covered by a valid UVP, purchased from WGAC, by their Tour Operator, prior to entry to Wunambal Gaambera Country.

Only Registered Uunguu Tour Operators can purchase Uunguu Visitor Passes (UVPs) for their tour passengers. (Crew members do not require a UVP.)

Wunambal Gaambera people welcome guests, passengers and crew of registered Uunguu Tour Operators.

UVP Registration Applications

A Tour Operator must submit an on-line Registration application to WGAC via the form below. Successful applicants will be issued an Interim Registration Certificate and an invoice to pay the first relevant UVP Fee within 28 days (see the fees below). On receipt of payment, WGAC will replace the Interim Registration Certificate with a UVP Registration Certificate valid for five (5) years, subject to ongoing compliance with the Tour Operators Terms and Conditions.

Registered Uunguu Tour Operators will be required to update registration details by February 28 annually and promptly advise WGAC of any further registration changes or non compliance with Tour Operators’ Terms and Conditions.
