Closed areas: Bindarray Picnic Area Closed for works

Bindarray Picnic Area is closed to the public from Monday 6 July to Monday 3rd August due to construction works.

There will be no access possible via vehicle or pedestrians during this time.

 

The closed area is from the gate at the northern end of Jersery Bull Rd (near junction with Pine Rd) and south to Bindarray Picnic Area.

There is no change to any access to Pine Rd.

 

Construction of a new pedestrian suspension bridge across the Urumbilium River near Bindarray Picnic Area will provide improved access to the site once works are completed.

This project is part of the Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk, which will provide a new public walking track from Dorrigo Rainforest Centre to Bindarray Picnic Area.

Closed areas: Urumbilum Falls timber bridge closed - Bindarri NP

The timber bridge which provides access from Urumbilum Falls Carpark east across Urumbilum Creek to the Urumbilum Falls Day Use Area is closed.

 

This closure is necessary due to the surface fill on this elevated timber bridge eroding, causing it to be unsafe for walkers. 

 

For alternate access, options are to use the shallow road ford adjacent (only in times of low water flow), or alternatively consider the flagged walking track to access Urumbilum Falls. 

 

NPWS will be rerouting and improving the walking track access to Urumbilum Falls as part of the Dorrigo Escarpment Great Walk over the next two years. This project is already planned and funded, with on-ground work underway in other sectors.
