The Victorian government has released a new access plan for the Mount Arapiles-Tooan State Park. It does away with the blanket bans proposed in 2024 and will keep 98 per cent of climbing routes open.
Access the full list of guidelines, closures and re-routes on the Parks Victoria website: engage.vic.gov.au/dyurrite?
From the ABC article: "The new plan allows climbers access to all but three of more than 150 climbing areas at the park. Climbing Victoria chair Mike Rockell said he was "delighted" with the outcome. "Importantly, the significant Aboriginal cultural heritage at Dyurrite will remain protected, but with only a small percentage of climbs having to be closed," Mr Rockell said.
