Parks Victoria works in partnership with Four Wheel Drive Victoria and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action to ensure roads and tracks in parks across the State are available for visitors to safely access remote locations through the warmer months of the year. Certain roads and tracks are closed to vehicles (such as four-wheel drives and trailbikes) during the winter and early spring to ensure visitor safety, prevent unnecessary damage to roads and tracks and to protect sensitive environments. Offenders caught driving or riding on a closed road or track face a maximum penalty of up to $3846 if prosecuted in court.

Tea Tree Track, within Bunyip State Park, has been closed since 2018 due to the number of fire killed ash along the track resulting from the 2009 bushfires. The frequency of these large trees falling across Tea Tree Track led Parks Victoria to close the track in late 2018 for public safety.Tea Tree Track, which forms part of the seasonal road and track network utilised by four-wheel drivers and trailbike riders, will be re-opened once tree risk work and track upgrades have occurred.We apologise for any inconvenience.For further information contact the Parks Victoria Information Centre on 131963.Operation Columbus
Operation ColumbusParks Victoria, in partnership with Victoria Police and the Office of the Conservation Regulator, have launched a dedicated compliance operation, Operation Columbus, targeting unauthorised activities within Bunyip State Park, Kurth Kiln Regional Park and surrounding areas.Unauthorised activities, particularly off-road four-wheel driving, damage to infrastructure and firewood collection are having devastating impacts on the natural and cultural values of these areas. Parks Victoria have a legal and moral obligation to conserve and protect these areas in line with the National Parks Act (1975) and the Crown Land Reserves Act (1978).It is important when planning to visit a park that visitors are aware of the activities that are permitted and where there may be restrictions. For example, Bunyip State Park has different regulations to nearby state forests. Dogs, firewood collection, entering seasonally closed areas and driving off road (leaving the road or track to drive on fuel breaks or through the bush) are not permitted within Bunyip State Park. Offenders caught breaching park regulations may receive fines between $190 to $988 depending on the offence.Operation Columbus will be continuing throughout the coming months, occurring on both weekends and weekdays. -
