ACT Parks and Conservation has warned visitors to Mt Ainslie and Mt Majura to take care as work has started on repairing a number of management tracks on the popular destinations.
Director of ACT Parks and Conservation, Daniel Iglesias said grading and general repairs had begun on several management tracks, such as fire access roads, in the reserves.
Mr Iglesias said the work was needed to repair damage caused by February’s extreme rainfall.
“I encourage park users to exercise caution and keep well clear of any machinery or vehicles working in the reserves,” Mr Iglesias said.
“Users should follow temporary traffic and pedestrian management signage and keep dogs on leash at all times.”
He said work is expected to take several weeks and will be completed within two months.
Mr Iglesias said a small section of the Campbell management track, linking the Campbell end of Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve to the Ainslie/Hackett end, would be closed for repairs for approximately two weeks, with a temporary detour in place around the site.
“ACT Parks and Conservation has timed the work for the slightly less busy winter period, and apologise for any inconvenience caused,” he said.
“The end result of the work will be safer and improved walking and management tracks in these two popular reserves.”
