State-wide National Park Closures - November 11 2019

Due to the extreme fire conditions across much of New South Wales, most national parks and reserves from the Queensland border to Victoria are closed. This means no public access at all and includes tracks, trails, campgrounds and picnic areas.

A full list of the park closures and alerts, including any exceptions, is available at nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/alerts/alerts-list.

This is an important measure to protect the public’s safety and to ensure no-one finds themselves trapped in a park if fire starts in the predicted extreme conditions.

A total fire ban remains in place for all NSW national parks due to extreme fire danger.

General Information re Trailer Access (Deua National Park)

Some trails are not suitable for trailer access and are now an offence to use trailers on the listed trails.

National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has had advisory signs in place for some time to encourage people towing 4WD trailers to avoid some of the steeper, harder-to-maintain trails in Deua National Park. However, due to ongoing damage to trails as a result of continued inappropriate use of 4WDs towing trailers on these signposted trails, NPWS is now prohibiting the use of trailers on the following trails in Deua National Park:

  • Dampier Mountain trail
  • Oulla Creek trail
  • Minuma Range trail
  • Merricumbene trail
  • Mongamula trail
  • Dry Creek trail

It is now an offence to tow trailers on these trails. The penalty for towing trailers on these trails is a $300 penalty infringement notice, or higher if the matter is taken to court. By keeping trailers away from these identified trails, you reduce the safety risk to yourself and others, reduce damage to the park environment and your assets and reduce park maintenance costs, a benefit to everyone.
