Maximum stay is 14 days in any 28-day period\n- **Fires** – only allowed in designated areas; total fire bans can be declared\n- **Vehicles and vessels** – strict rules about where you can drive, speed limits, and where powered boats are allowed. Special rules apply for airboats and water-skiing at Manton Dam\n- **Wildlife and environment** – protections for animals, plants, water sources, and Aboriginal cultural sites. No taking plants or animals without permits\n- **Prohibited items** – firearms, weapons, metal detectors, and glass containers (in designated areas) are restricted or banned\n- **Commercial activities** – trade, events, and photography for profit need permits\n- **Enforcement** – conservation officers can issue fines (infringement notices), impound vehicles, remove offenders, and seize prohibited items\n\n**Why it matters:**\n\nThese rules protect the Northern Territory's unique natural and cultural heritage while allowing public enjoyment. They balance conservation with recreation, ensure visitor safety, and provide a framework for managing commercial activities in sensitive environments. Breaking these rules can result in fines (measured in \"penalty units\"), vehicle impoundment, or even removal from the park."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":7,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The instrument's scope has expanded since the original 1984 by‑laws through later insertions and amendments.
