A winter surcharge has been added to the cost of vehicle entry to the Kosciuszko National Park ski fields. This surcharge has been set by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART). It will be phased in over a two-year period, to give communities and businesses sufficient time to become accustomed to the increase. The details of the surcharge are as follows:
In the 2006 winter season (from the beginning of the June long weekend the end of the October long weekend), vehicle entry fees in Kosciuszko National Park will cost $22 per day. This will rise to $27 per day in the 2007 winter season.
Outside the winter season, vehicle entry fees will remain at $16 per day.
An annual All Parks Pass (covering Kosciuszko National Park) now costs $145 (effective from 5 November 2005). On 3 October 2006, the cost of this annual pass will rise to $190.
By 2007 motor cycle entry fees will cost $11 and passengers on coaches $11.45.
