There has been a mixed response to a revelation of plans to keep the Wollumbin summit track closed for good. COVID-19 concerns were cited as the initial reason for closing the track to the peak, also known as Mount Warning, in March 2020. At that time, many national parks across the state were similarly affected by restrictions resulting from the pandemic. But as restrictions eased, the Wollumbin closure continued. The National Parks and Wildlife Service confirmed in January the extended closure was still expected to be reviewed in May this year.
