Closed areas: Kembla Mountain Bike Trails closures
The following trails on the Kembla MTB network are affected by maintenance closures:
False Start: closed until Saturday 4 October 2025
Mind the Gaps: closed until further notice
This wet weather closure is a management practice consistent with most mountain bike trail networks, and aims to protect the trails and riders. With a wet spring and summer expected, riders should be prepared for future closures, which may occur at short notice.
We know that riders are excited about the new trails, but riding when wet can damage the trails, and lead to costly repairs with prolonged closures. This also impacts the surrounding park, and risks rider safety.
People are reminded to check trail closure alerts before visiting at nswparks.info/illawarra-mtn-bike or on Trailforks, and to always follow park signage. People can also subscribe on the NPWS Kembla mountain trails webpage to receive email notifications of trail and park closures.
Thank you for doing your part to care for the trails and for continuing to ‘ride lightly’.

Other planned events: Notice of ongoing 1080 program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting ongoing ground baiting programs. 1080 ground baiting is scheduled from 7 April 2025 to 6 October 2025. The operation will use manufactured baits, fresh baits and Canid Pest Ejectors (CPEs), Felixer grooming traps containing 1080 poison (sodium fluroacetate) for the control of foxes and feral cats.
Ground baiting will occur in Yiraaldiya National Park (formerly Shanes Park).
The program is designed to eradicate feral predators in a feral predator free area before reintroducing locally extinct animals including threatened species. Baits will only be laid inside the fenced area (the baiting location).
Signs will be placed at the entry to the baiting location. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

Closed parks: Yiraaldiya National Park closed during the establishment of feral predator-free area
Yiraaldiya National Park is a feral predator-free area. This means that feral predators, such as red foxes and feral cats, are being eradicated from the park. Locally extinct native wildlife are being reintroduced, including eastern bettongs, koalas and long-nosed bandicoots. For this reason, there is no access to the park while the feral predator-free area is being established. Once complete, the park will open for sustainable visitor access and enjoyment, and educational and research opportunities.
During the closure period visitors may not visit the park, and only NPWS staff and authorised contractors and volunteers are allowed entry to the park.

How you can help
To prevent phytophthora infection and spreading in parks and at home, try these hygiene tips:
- Start your trip with clean, dirt-free, dry gear (including shoes, bike tyres, camping gear, vehicles)
- Use the boot wash or scrub stations provided – these capture contaminated water or control flow to septic or sewage systems where root rot will die
- Stay on formed tracks
- Follow instructions on signage
- Clean your gear again when you get home – try a solution of 70% methylated spirits or ethanol, 30% water, and wash straight into the septic/sewage system. You may want to keep a spray bottle in the car.
