Temporary road closure and restricted access

Big Bend Road will be temporarily closed and access to Big Bend and Echo Hole camping areas will be restricted from Monday, 16 August 2021 until Sunday, 7 November 2021 for a television production project.

Signage, fencing and security will be in place to inform persons of the area’s temporary restrictions, and to provide visitors with alternative locations to visit.

Council is encouraging people to utilise the Region’s other camping areas.

More information on those can be found in Council’s Camping Guide.

For more information regarding these temporary restrictions call Council’s Administration Centre on 4761 5300 or for other suitable alternative camping sites and recreation areas speak to a Tourism Ambassador at the Charters Towers Visitor Information Centre on 4761 5533.

Council acknowledges the inconvenience this may cause and appreciates the community’s cooperation during the project.
