Dirk Richards, NPWS Northern Inland Principal Project Officer, emphasised the importance of the temporary closure in ensuring the completion of major construction works.

‘This short-term temporary closure will give contractors the space to focus on safely completing major construction stages,” he said. “This will allow us to progress works at the Upper Falls faster and ensure the new visitor precinct is open in time for the summer holidays.”

THE NPWS says that once the upgrade is complete, visitors can expect an enhanced experience at the upgraded visitor precinct.

The improvements include enhanced and inclusive accessibility, increased parking, brand-new visitor facilities and amazing new vantage points to view the dramatic gorge and waterfalls.

During the closure, no toilet, picnic, or rest stop facilities will be available at Ebor Falls.

A series of photographs released by the NPWS show both the scale of the damage caused by bushfires, and the extensive works being carried out to repair and improve visitor infrastructure.

The stunning waterfalls and scenery at Guy Fawkes River National Park have long made it a favourite with grey nomads.
