I am advised the Department of Parks and Wildlife's financial record system reports annual camping revenue data and it would take substantial use of the Departmental resources to calculate monthly data for the past four years. Given this, I do not consider it is an efficient use of agency resources to undertake such a task. The data is not available for Dryandra (Village) as it is a private lease. Leaning Marri is a small campground where fees do not apply.
