Works and change to access in Reedy Creek (Woolshed and McFeeters Road) section of Chiltern Mt Pilot NP

During September and October, Parks Victoria is making some changes to access in the Reedy Creek (Woolshed and McFeeters Road) area to improve visitor safety and protect park values.
Camping and prospecting along Reedy Creek has become very popular, and many illegal tracks have been formed. These are not part of Parks Victoria’s formal track network and are not maintained. They are deeply rutted, unsafe and affecting environmental values in the area. Parks Victoria will be consolidating the track network and better defining camping areas. There will be changes to access, including the use of signage and large rocks to close illegally formed tracks. These tracks will be re-vegetated. Access roads into the popular camping areas along Reedy Creek (which are part of the formal track network) will be improved.
Prospecting is still allowed in Reedy Creek and in other designated areas of Chiltern Mt Pilot National Park, for prospectors who hold a current Miner’s Right. 

Closure of Walkway at Yeddonba

The elevated walkway and access to the art site at Yeddonba in Chiltern Mt Pilot National Park has been closed for safety reasons.
 
An engineering assessment on the walkway identified a number of structural defects that require remediation and recommended closure.
 
The walking track and visitor facilities at the site remain open.
