The empty esky

After weeks of tireless work by so many we are very pleased to let you know that the Princes Highway is open all the way to the NSW border!

Many roads off the Princes Highway remain closed and are unsafe for travel. This includes smaller local roads, and parks and forest tracks where hazardous tree assessments have not yet been completed.

The Genoa to Mallacoota Road is only open to residents and essential services with a permit (available from the DELWP Orbost office) as hazardous tree work continues. We're working towards opening the road to the public soon.

There is still smoke in the area, reducing visibility. Drivers should use their headlights on low-beam and keep a safe braking condition.

Works continue along some areas of the highway in East Gippsland and drivers are asked to obey traffic management and speed restrictions. Police will be patrolling and enforcing the speed restrictions. Also be aware of increased presence and movement of wildlife.
