As per the link .... Licensing was introduced in 2004 requiring all commercial and organised group activities to have a Nature Based Recreation and Tourism Licence while operating on Crown and Council Lands managed by Council. The revenues generated by the licence fee system supplements existing funds to enable the ongoing management of nature based recreation sites and the restoration of areas degraded by nature based recreation and tourism impacts.

At $30 the council won't be making money from this. It would probably cost more than that to administer the scheme.
