Crown reserves camping registration form

The NSW Government lifted the ban on holidays and camping from 1 June 2020 under the updated Public Health Order https://gazette.legislation.nsw.gov.au/so/download.w3p?id=Gazette_2020_2020-113.pdf A requirement for campground re-opening is to prepare and follow a COVID-19 Safety Plan. The Safety Plans consider the wellbeing of staff and visitors, physical distancing, hygiene and cleaning and record keeping. Many of the campgrounds on Crown reserves are remote with very basic infrastructure and serviced irregularly. They are often free with no designated sites or facility to book a site. The Safety Plans require the department to collect camper information that can be provided to NSW Health in the event of a COVID-19 event. NSW Health can then use this information to find other people who may have been exposed to the virus. This information will be kept for a period of at least 28 days. Information collected will only be used for the purposes of tracing COVID-19 infections and are stored confidentially and securely. This Camping Registration Form is not a booking and is not used to actively monitor the number of visitors in a given location.
