Bogong High Plains Road Closure Update

UPDATE 22ND OCTOBER 5PM

Road Closure Extention until 18th November 2022

Dear Falls Creek Stakeholders,

Falls Creek Alpine Resort (FCAR) wish to advise staff, stakeholders and residents that access to Falls Creek will have an ongoing hard closure to all traffic between Falls Creek and Mt Beauty. Current advice from SES and the Dept of Transport (Vicroads) is to plan for this closure to be in place for the next month until the 18th of November 2022.

This is due to increased risk at the site from the forecast ongoing rainfall events and the continuing hazard present at the site.

This closure will be managed at Mt Beauty and Howman’s Gap. Access between Falls Creek and Mt Beauty will be permitted for emergency services personnel only during the closure period.

Bogong High Plains Road from Falls Creek to Shannonvale has now been opened for use by Falls Creek residents and stakeholders during this period. It will open to the general public from 9am Monday 24th of October.

FCAR will be undertaking a process of stakeholder consultation on Monday 24th October 2022 to discuss the impacts and options for ongoing works, visitation to the resort and financial support options given the substantial impacts of this closure. Please monitor your emails for updates on this session.

For any enquiries regarding the above please call 03 5758 1200 or email [email protected] during business hours, Monday to Friday 9am-5pm.
