RE: RECOVERY WORKS CONTINUE After months of hard work (and some left-of-field disruptions such as Covid-19), National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) staff and local contractors have made fantastic progress accessing and rehabilitating roads, trails and camping areas heavily impacted by fires and floods earlier in the year. Continued impacts from flooding, heavy rain and strong wind events have meant we have had to return to many roads and trails, which had been finished, to re-clear fallen trees, and re-establish drains, culverts, surfaces and crossings. Our ongoing priority is to make all our facilities safe and serviceable for visitors before they are re-opened. Below is a snapshot of where our roadworks is currently at:

Deua, Monga, Biamanga, and Wadbilliga National Parks and Monga State Conservation Area and Murrah Flora Reserve still remain closed . However, our aim is to have these parks and reserves open to the public by 1 st December 2020. NPWS staff would like to thank all our stakeholders for their continued support, patience and understanding during these difficult times.
