Road and Track Closures

In the interest of public safety, Evercreech Road will be temporarily closed to conduct forest harvesting operations on Permanent Timber Production Zone Land.

The roads will be closed to all vehicular traffic for the duration of the operation, excluding traffic authorised by Sustainable Timber Tasmania.

This temporary closure is anticipated to be in place until the 30th of March 2026, subject to unforeseen delays.

These operations will involve felling trees along Evercreech Road and processing and loading timber on associated landings.

(a) for the purposes of discharging its responsibilities; or

(b) in the interests of safety.

Harvesting operations are integral to Sustainable Timber Tasmania discharging its responsibilities.

Signage is in place to inform road users.
