Purnululu National Park General Information
The World Heritage Listed Purnululu National Park is the first national Park in the
Kimberley to be jointly managed by the Aboriginal Traditional owners and the Department
of Environment and Conservation ( DEC).
DEC and the Traditional Owners form a park council which meets regularly to consider
matters associated with the use and management of the park. The system of joint
management acknowledges the Aboriginal people’s traditional responsibility for care of
the country and the wellbeing of visitors.
Heliwork WA , one of many licensed operators within Purnululu, needs to implement and
continually improve on sustainability principles within the park as part of our licensing
conditions. This is to ensure that future generations will enjoy the beauty of this unique
landscape and protect the natural area. We are the only helicopter operator in Purnululu
and our operations are conducted in a manner which enhances visitor experiences and
preserves park values.
Heliwork WA, together with each of our passengers, is further contributing to the
management of Purnululu in a financial capacity. An agreed portion of each fare is paid to
the Department of Environment and Conservation.
*All rates are valid from 1st April 2009 to 31st March 2011.*
