Unique spaces for filming and photography
Our parks provide a wide array of unique landscapes and stunning vistas for filming and photography.
We support the professional film and television sector, as outlined in the NSW film-friendly protocol.
We recognise film and television production is beneficial to our local economy and try to accommodate all reasonable requests for access to the great locations in across our parks.
Our main responsibility is to maintain access for park visitors and to protect the park’s natural environment, facilities and wildlife.
