Tylers Road and associated spurs
In the interest of public safety, Tylers Road from the locked gate on Tylers Road east of Hydro Break Road; and associated spurs 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 31st October 2025, subject to unforeseen delays.
These operations will involve felling trees along Tylers Road and associated spurs and processing and loading timber on associated landings.
The Forest Management Act 2013 at Clause 23(b)(2) provides:
“The Forest Manager may close a forest road or any section of forest road either permanently or temporarily to all traffic, or to a class of traffic, if the Forest Manager considers that the closure is necessary or expedient –
(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.
