The recent weather conditions across the Otways have been favourable and as a result Parks Victoria, together with Department of Sustainability and Environment, will be commencing their Autumn Prescribed Burn program this week. As a result of these burns a number of roads, tracks and visitor sites will be closed from 0800hrs on the date of the burn until the area can be declared safe. Staff will be working to achieve a safe condition as fast as possible so that visitation is not disrupted for too long.

We have just received information in relation track maintenance work.

Parks Victoria have scheduled minor maintenance works to begin next week on a number of tracks within the Great Otway National Park (GONP) and Anglesea Heath.

The works include essential drainage and grading and have been identified for:

·         Denham's Track - GONP & Anglesea Heath

While works are being carried out these tracks will remain open with signage erected to inform visitors of the presence of machinery.  Works will be carried out during week days only (Mon - Fri), with tracks left in a safe condition for weekends. 

Weather depending, it is expected to be completed within 2 weeks of commencing.
