Permit to drive a vehicle to the Myrtle Forest Picnic Area in Wellington Park

To make it easier for persons with disability to experience this beautiful picnic area, if you have a disability parking permit you can apply to get a permit and key to open the locked gate at the top of Myrtle Forest Road and drive right up to the picnic area.

After you submit this online application the Wellington Park Management Trust will contact you.

Once your permit is confirmed, you can collect the key from Glenorchy City Council customer service area during business hours.

There is no fee but failure to return keys on time may attract a $300 no-return fee.
