Latest track closures update
Tuesday 29 January – 4:30pm
Access to some national parks and reserve areas is being managed for public safety by PWS due to the current fire situation.
Due to the ongoing threat of fires in a number of areas around the state, PWS advises the following:
Southwest National Park – South Coast Track
Due to the current fire situation, restrictions are in place on new walkers embarking on the South Coast Track until further notice.
Access to the track at Cockle Creek is currently restricted due to a road closure at Huonville, and access via Melaleuca is restricted until the current fire emergency has passed.
Walkers currently on the track are under no immediate threat and weather and fire conditions will continue to be monitored. It is intended that walkers will be able to walk out, however plans are in place to relocate walkers should conditions change. A review and assessment will be undertaken on Friday 1 February.
