The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service is set to permanently ban climbers from ascending Wollumbin in Northern NSW.
Government documents reveal the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) are closely examining the possibility of permanently closing the site to climbers “due to safety risks and visitor impacts on Aboriginal cultural values”.
Wollumbin has been closed to climbers since March last year due to COVID-19 restrictions. In the documents, the NPWS identifies the interim closure to climbers as an opportunity to consult with the local Aboriginal community and tourism businesses.
Wollumbin is a sacred place for the Bundjalung people, who are custodians of the site. For many years, a sign at the base of the site has asked people to rethink climbing the mountain out of respect for its Traditional Owners.
The Mount Warning trail in the Tweed Valley in northern New South Wales could be shut to tourists as early as next November, state government documents have revealed.
