Review of Community Strategic Plan

The Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) will be performing track upgrades in the Helena and Aurora Range from July 29 until August 7, 2019. These works involve the use of heavy machinery so to manage the risk to vehicles visiting the area, a traffic management plan has been developed. There will be signage at any entry points to the impacted area, as well as pilot vehicles with each machine. Visitors to the area are advised to take care while driving and to follow the instruction of DBCA staff where necessary.
