    Sealers Cove boardwalk is closed

    The Sealers Cove boardwalk needs to be rebuilt, following major storm and flood damage. 

    This will be a major and complex project. It will replace two kilometres of boardwalk over sensitive terrain while sensitively managing the surrounding environment.

    There is currently no public access to the boardwalk, and access to Sealers Cove is only possible via a 25km hike from Telegraph Saddle.

    For more information, including expected timeframes for the rebuild, visit the Sealers Cove Boardwalk project page.

    Invasive Species Control Programs 2025 - 2027

    Wilsons Promontory National Park will be conducting invasive species control programs from 1 July 2025 – 30 June 2027. Introduced species such as deer, rabbits, foxes and feral cats are all major threats to nature. 
    By removing introduced hog deer and rabbits, we are reducing grazing pressure on the incredible variety of native plants and plant communities, including some that are nationally threatened. By targeting foxes and feral cats, we are reducing the threat of predation for native species such as the Southern Brown Bandicoot, Long-nosed Potoroo, Ground Parrot, New Holland Mouse, Eastern Pygmy Possum and the Hooded Plover.
    All animal control programs are carried out under strict conditions, compliant with all relevant legislation, Codes of Practice and Standard Operating Procedures, designed to ensure safe, effective, and humane practices are implemented. 
    For further information, please visit Prom Sanctuary.

    Temporary toilets and showers on site at Tidal River Campground

    West, Beach and Firebreak toilet blocks are being upgraded. Works will be completed in late December, ahead of the peak summer period.
    From 13 October to 19 December 2025, temporary amenities will be in place at Beach and Firebreak blocks. There will be fewer showers available than normal. Campers should shower outside of peak times to avoid delays.
    There will be no shower or toilet facilities at West Block during this time. Temporary facilities cannot be provided as there is no suitable location. The nearest toilets and showers to West Block are at Newcastle Block. See the attached map for more details.
    East, Newcastle, Tidal and Hill blocks remain open throughout this time. Hill Block will be renovated separately in early 2026.
    These renovations have been funded by the Victorian Government’s Victoria’s Great Outdoors program. Victoria’s Great Outdoors is a $106.6 million investment by the Victorian Government into better campgrounds, walking trails, 4WD tracks and visitor facilities across Victoria’s parks and state forests.
