Closed parks: Nangar NP closed for FAFT trail maintenance and repairs from Monday 16th October.

As of 16 October 2023, Nangar National Park will be closed to all visitors due NPWS Fire Access and Fire Trail upgrade works.

Contractors and heavy plant will be operating within Nangar NP to upgrade the access trail network to improve access within the Park.

All trails are closed to all traffic, as the trails need essential fire safety upgrades, creek crossings, and flash flood erosion wash-aways will need to be repaired in this process as well.

Previous local rains delayed these important trail works, and the Park will be closed until Friday 15th December 2023. If works are completed earlier than this scheduled date, Nangar NP can be opened. Please continue to check the NPWS Web site for details.

For more information, please contact Central West Area office at Bathurst on 02 6332 7640 for the most up to date information.

Other planned events: Notice of ongoing 1080 fox ground baiting program

NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting ongoing ground baiting programs in this park from Friday 1 September 2023 to Thursday Feb 29 2024.

The operation will involve the use of CPE's containing 1080 poison (sodium fluoroacetate) for the control of wild dogs and foxes. Some red meat may also be used.

The program is designed to minimise the impact of foxes on wildlife, and to minimise the impact of wild dogs and foxes on neighbouring stock.

All baiting locations will be identifiable by signs.

Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks and Reserves. 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 locations. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance.

For more information, please contact the NPWS Bathurst area office on 02 6332 7640 or send an emailnpws.centralwest@environment.nsw.gov.au
