Turn the Snowy Mountains national park into a massive car park

Sydney motorist: "Every time we drive up I'm always like, 'They need to expand the car park.'"

"Roads to the ski resorts are managed by Transport for NSW but the car parks, which are ON national park land, are managed by the resorts themselves. There's more than 6,000 car parking spaces across the ski fields in the Snowy Mountains."

"National parks are not supposed to be full of cars.We don't want to be polluting streams and waterways with runoff from car parks. The ecology and the environment is more important than us going skiing."
