Parks Victoria · Partial closure
Night park closures for deer control work
Deer control works will be taking place in a number of locations within the Middle Yarra landscape. These include: Jumping Creek Reserve, Mt Lofty Reserve, Pound Bend Reserve, The Common (Warrandyte State Park), Kearneys, Pontville, Tikalara, Morrisons, Seawards, Longridge, Overbank/Gaybrooke Block, Glynns Reserve (Yarra Valley Parklands) and the Yanakie Block, One Tree Hill and Rifle Range Reserve (Warrandyte-Kinglake Nature Conservation Reserve) and the Biolink area of Kinglake National Park. The goal of this project is to reduce deer populations to mitigate deer impacts on the values in the surrounding area. This program will be conducted by professional contract shooters and will operate between the 13th of July 2026 and 30th June 2027 – excluding public holidays, school holidays and weekends. The program will be conducted in the areas highlighted on the attached map. The affected areas within the park/reserve will be closed between the hours of 4pm and 6am during nights of control. Signs will be displayed at all official entrance points to the park/reserve when shooting is in progress. If you have any questions regarding the program, call the Parks Victoria Information Centre on 13 1963. Attachments: Warrandyte SP deer control zones 26-27 (1) (660KB)
