Temporary Road Closures

Description of Hazard or programmed maintenance: DEECA are using heavy plant to conduct works on DEECA land that is adjacent to Park areas and have declared Public Safety Zones that extend into Macedon Regional Park for the duration of these works

These secondary roads and tracks are not primary vehicle traffic routes to our key visitor nodes, and so may affect long distance walkers, runners, and park neighbors. The closures are effective during Monday to Friday and essentially, 8 to 5pm, when the machines are likely to be operational. They will be working to DEECA OH requirements when on their public land parcels.
