Mount Buffalo National Park has reopened with some restrictions following a major police operation.

The park was closed on advice from Victoria Police after the incident at Porepunkah on 26 August.

Everyone at Parks Victoria thanks the Police for their work during this sad and challenging time for the region.

Local Parks rangers have worked closely with the Police to make sure the park is ready to receive visitors again.
