Closed parks: Kemps Creek Nature Reserve closed

This park is closed due to Phytophthora contamination, unless the closure is otherwise extended or removed.

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.
