COVID-19 safety information

​​Before you head out, take a moment to look over our essential information for visiting Tasmania's national parks and reserves.

For more information, please see our Planned burns page.​​​​

​For current fire information, ​​please refer to the Tasmania Fire Service (TFS) website​.​​​​​

To avoid delays on your journey, check the general road closure information on the Department of State Growth web site.​
