Public Access Routes (PARs) are established under the Pastoral L a n d M a n age m e n t a n d Conservation Act 1989 to provide public access over pastoral land without the need for travellers to ask permission from the lessee. A network of 24 PARs has been established. PARs are not roads or part of the formal road network. They are unimproved and unsurfaced dirt tracks intended to provide four wheel drive access in dry conditions only. A network of 24 PARs have been established Short routes, including Arkaringa Hills (2km), Curdimurka (1km) and Strangways Springs (2.5km), are traversable by a two wheel drive. The PARs are usually part of the network of tracks used by the lessees to manage their pastoral properties and can be used by a range of vehicles including trucks, semi-trailers and road-trains, as well as for droving stock. As PARs are not fenced, be aware of wandering livestock, especially near yards and waterpoints. The consent of the lessee is required to access areas of pastoral lands that are not part of the PAR network. Use the Pastoral Lease Access Request Form to request access.
