Closed parks: Planned Hazard Reduction - Spring Gully in Goobang National Park
The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) together with the NSW Rural Fire Service will implement a prescribed hazard reduction burn within Goobang National Park.
The planned burn is at Spring Gully, which is approximately a 1500-hectare prescribed burn. This planned burn is bounded by Spring Gully Fire Trail, Barber Fire Trail and Hughes Fire Trail in the Northern end of the burn footprint within Goobang National Park.
This burn will protect biodiversity values and reduce fuel loads and a planned light up sequence will start around 10am on Wednesday 14th May and continue through to Friday 16th May, weather permitting.
The burn will also enhance the conservation and biodiversity value of the National Park, by maintaining the floristic and structural diversity of vegetation communities, protect important wildlife habitat and help to mitigate the risk of wildfire on park neighbours by reducing the overall fuel hazard from high to low.
Mopping up operations will continue for several days and public access to the burn area and surrounding tracks will be restricted until a safety assessment is undertaken.
To support the hazard reduction burn, temporary road closures will be in place, and motorists should expect traffic delays and smoke in the area. Drivers are advised to follow all signage and adjust their driving to the conditions.
Smoke may be visible in the National Park and nearby communities depending on wind direction.
