The Department of Conservation proposes to close Jackson River Road from Lake Ellery Southwards on up to 4 nights between 22 April 2025 and 30 June 2025. The closures will only be during the hours of darkness for the purpose of undertaking a predator control operation in the Hope Cascade area. Closure will be by way of a locked gate at Lake Ellery.
Anyone potentially affected by these overnight road closures can request to be added to the notification list for the operation by emailing NPCPwestcoast@doc.govt.nz, with "Notify of road closures Jackson River Road" in the subject line. This will inform you of the exact date of each road closure as soon as it is confirmed.
