Due to the extreme fire danger rating for tomorrow, all City of Hobart bushland reserves will be closed on Thursday 22 February.

The closures cover Wellington Park (including kunanyi/Mt Wellington), Knocklofty, Waterworks and Bicentennial reserves, Ridgeway Park and the Queens Domain summit.

These parks and reserves are closed for public safety when the Tasmania Fire Service declares an extreme or catastrophic fire danger rating in Hobart.

Walking and mountain bike tracks as well as barbecues in the City’s parks and bushland reserves will all be closed until the extreme fire danger rating has been lifted. At this stage we expect to re-open these areas on Friday morning.
