A simplified permit application system is making it easier for tour operators to work in Territory parks and reserves.
Streamlining the permit procedure through the candoterritory.nt.gov.au [https://www.candoterritory.nt.gov.au] portal is another way the Territory Labor Government is supporting local businesses by reducing red tape.
The new approach means a reduction in the required information for permit applications, as well as combining 3 separate processes into one web-based form.
Standard permits will now allow for more flexibility in tour guide operations by covering all applicable parks, removing a requirement for tour operators to specify multiple locations.
Businesses will also be able to track their applications through SMS or email updates, further delivering on open and transparent government processes.
Tourism operators should use the form when applying for a permit for any type of commercial tour activity in Territory parks and if applying for a concession, can access a new interactive digital map to pinpoint any proposed facility locations or off-path activities.
In line with the Territory Economic Reconstruction Commission recommendations, the Can-do Territory online services portal forms part of a broader digital transformation program to slash red tape, centralise business information and offer tracking and transparency to online application processes.
Can-do Territory will continue to expand over time, integrating more online applications making it easier for Territorians and businesses to access information, lodge and track online forms and transact digitally with the NT Government.
