Closed areas: Closed roads due to Ex-tropical cyclone Alfred and subsequent wet weather events in New England NP, Dunggir NP and Gumbaynggirr NP & SCA
Closed roads in New England NP, Dunggir NP and Gumbaynggirr NP & SCA due to Ex-tropical cyclone Alfred and additional subsequent flood events.
Road blocks have been installed on the Horseshoe road to prevent vehicle movements at the Killikrankie Mountain Lookout intersection in the north and at Kilprotay Road intersection to the south. In addition, Kilprotay road has developed a natural road blockage about 3.5 km from the intersection with the Horseshoe road.
Additional road closures are in place in New England NP in the Comara Range area due to multiple landslips.
Affected roads include:
- Horseshoe Road – culvert blow out and undermining of road, no through access. Remediation beginning Jan 2026 when weather suitable for equipment access across wet roads.
- Gaddes Ridge Road – major landslip, no through access. An independent geotechnical engineer's assessment has identified an unacceptable risk of ongoing landslip, this road will remain closed for an indefinite period. Alternate is via Cedar road.
These closures will remain in place until geohazard assessments can be undertaken and works completed. You may need to reschedule your visit and avoid travel through areas in these parks. Penalties apply for non-compliance.
