Glenelg River mouth artificially opened

On the 30th May 2025, the Glenelg Hopkins Catchment Management Authority together with Parks Victoria manually opened the blocked mouth of the Glenelg River. 

The public are requested to stay well clear of the river mouth to ensure their safety.  Sand ledges in the channel are unstable and can collapse without notice.  River water may be moving very swiftly through the channel into the ocean.

Water levels around jetties and boat ramps are expected to drop from Friday 30th May and into the weekend.  Park and river users are urged to be cautious when using jetties and boat ramps, due to the likelihood of silt having settled on the previously submerged decks and ramps, potentially causing hazardous conditions.  Additionally, previously submerged decking boards and ladders could be damaged or missing.

Parks Victoria staff will undertake assessments as soon as possible to respond to any damage or unsafe conditions.  Park visitors can report unsafe conditions by contacting 13 1963 or info@parks.vic.gov.au.
