The government announced that it will be revealing the fee on Monday, March 9, for the Twelve Apostles Visitor Experience Center, located on Victoria’s Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
The Twelve Apostles are seven limestone stacks rising out of the ocean. Contrary to the landmark's name, there were only ever nine stacks. One collapsed in 2005, and another in 2009.
Steve Dimopoulos, the state environment minister, said in a statement about the project, via The Guardian, “We’re investing in the future of the Great Ocean Road region and making sure every single cent spent in the region stays there."
Along with the fee to visit the landmark, a visitor booking system will also be implemented for crowd control and to make it easier for tourists.

Someone wrote, "Overcrowded by international tourists or local tourists? Why don’t we begin by charging foreign visitors and keep it free for the rest of us that pay our taxes?"
While the current plan only lists those who live nearby and people from the Eastern Maar Indigenous community as those exempt, the government could change the guidelines in the future.
