Installation of info signage (map, indemnity, conditions) at pay point and trail head. Erection of signage/chains/fencing/gates to demarcate “no-entry” areas/routes in order to prevent users from accessing the burnt lower slopes in Tokai where the dangerous gum tree harvesting operations are ongoing. The tracks are almost complete with 80% rideable, other operations which are ongoing include: TMNP management understood that users were eager to access Upper Tokai and therefore SANParks teams together with volunteers embarked on an extensive rehabilitation process including repairs to certain routes/tracks which were damaged during the fires as well as ongoing tree-felling operations. TMNP commends the great teamwork done between stakeholders which has now resulted in the reopening. SANParks has however continued to engage with various stakeholders and is now pleased to announce that Upper Tokai will reopen to the public on 10 December 2016 at 7h00am on a trial period for weekends only (excluding Christmas Day).
In the interest of public safety as well as for the protection of the environmental integrity TMNP remained closed to the public for safety and rehabilitation reasons. #NOTICE: UPPER TOKAI – REOPENING THIS WEEKEND!
