Notice of Deer Control - Lake Mountain

To protect vulnerable ecosystems, Parks Victoria will commence a deer control program at Lake Mountain, Yarra Ranges National Park periodically from March until May 2021. This work aims to reduce deer impact on significant alpine bogs, which in turn support many threatened and vulnerable species.

The next planned deer control activities will occur 1 March – 4 March between 7pm – 7am. During these times, the operations area will be closed to the public overnight and re-open during the day. At Lake Mountain, this means overnight camping is not available during nights of control.
