Kosciuszko National Park Turnak is located in Kosciuszko National Park (KNP). KNP is more than 6 thousand hectares, located in the south eastern part of NSW in the Monaro area. As Turnak is located in a National Park, a ticket is required for every vehicle to enter the KNP. As Turnak is located in the Perisher Range Resort area of the Park, it is very important to purchase the entry pass or annual pass (if a frequent visitor) from the Sawpit Creek entry to the Park. This is because a high proportion of the funds from those ticket sales stay within that part of the Park for maintenance and improvements. If tickets are purchased at other entries or in Sydney, the funds may be spent on any park. The income from tickets in contributing to infrastructure and works subsidises the levies that the lessees pay who have to make up the difference in the costs of running the Perisher resort, that is, water supply, sewage, snow clearing, weed eradication and so on. As a national park all lessees in The Park are bound by the KNP Planner Management. The Plan of Management has a number of parts that are relevant to the use and operation of a ski club such as Turnak. http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/parkManagement.aspx?id=N0018 It also has aims and objectives for environmental management in The Park that is the basis of the Perisher Range Resort Environmental Management System (PRREMS). Perisher Range Resorts Environmental Management (PRREMS) Turnak has an obligation to fulfil the requirements of the Perisher Range Resorts Environmental Management System (PRREMS). Each year within the KNP every lodge must report on their impact on the environment. This includes water consumption, electricity, gas or heating fuel, flora and fauna changes on the lodge site, rubbish reduction and so on. Please take the time to read the PRREMS Manual. |
