You can apply to the Director-General for a permit to do something that is not allowed in a protected area. You must use a special form that the Director-General has approved and include your name and contact details. You also need to describe what you want to do and how it might affect the area. You need to give the Director-General all the information they need to make a decision. If you do not give enough information, the Director-General might reject your application. The Director-General looks at your application to decide whether to give you a permit. The Director-General has the power to say no to your application if you have not provided enough details. This means you must make sure you fill out the form properly and answer all the questions. You should make sure you understand what information the Director-General needs from you.
