Friday 13 March 2020

Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park has reopened to visitors, however, several road closures remain in place due to water over the road in a number of locations. Visitors and tourism operators may re-enter the park, but are advised to proceed with caution and drive slowly through any water on the road.

National park staff, in coordination with local agencies, are actively monitoring conditions and implementing road closures to ensure visitor safety.

The following roads remain closed until further notice:

Uluṟu Ring Road between the Mala Carpark and Muṯitjulu Turn Off
Access road to Muṯitjulu Waterhole.

Muṯitjulu residents, staff and workers can continue to enter community with access via the southern road only.

Conditions will be reassessed at 9 am ACST on 17 March with an update provided shortly after.

The Australian Government has announced that park entry fees will be waived for visitors to Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa, Kakadu and Booderee National Parks from 16 March to 31 December 2020.

This important announcement will promote visitation and further support the range of stimulus measures currently in place for the tourism sector, including the Holiday Here this Year campaign, which encourages Australians to holiday domestically.

Visitors will still need to book a park pass however these will be available at no cost. The fee waiver applied to park entry fees only. Other fees including camping remain in effect.

We encourage visitors to make the most of this opportunity to get free entry into some our nation’s most spectacular national parks and start planning their next trip. Our Parks Australia staff look forward to welcoming you.
