During the summer of
2024/2025 the southern and western areas of Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park
and the central section of Grampians Peaks Trail were impacted by multiple
bushfires. Since then, a staged re-opening has commenced and many popular visitor
areas have re-opened in the Northern, Wonderland and Southern areas of the
park. However, some visitor sites and roads remain closed in the Sundial, Mount
William, Victoria Range, Victoria Valley and Wallaby Rocks areas.
Roads in fire
impacted areas
Many of the roads within
the National Park due for reopening to the public by late July were impacted by
recent weather events. There will be longer term closures required for some
roads, where significant damage has occurred and further essential works are
required. For up-to-date information please refer to the road report on the
change of conditions listings.

Brambuk the
National Park and Cultural Centre – Closures during 2025
· Cultural tours, activities and venue hire currently
unavailable.

Parks Victoria is working
with a strategic partnership committee of Gariwerd Traditional Owners from
Barengi Gadjin Land Council, Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation, and Gunditj
Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation to ‘reimagine’ the future of
Brambuk the National Park and Cultural Centre.
The reimagining project
aims to renew Traditional Owner management arrangements of the Brambuk precinct
and includes careful consideration of the tourism and visitor experiences,
commercial opportunities, cultural education and training programs that may be
available in the future. As part of this project, there are also building
upgrades and refurbishments that require the Cultural Centre to be closed
during 2024-25. However, the park information centre, gift shop and self-guided
walks remain available.
