There is a risk branches from trees damaged in the fire could fall and injure bushwalkers. Signs need to be replaced and tracks also need to be assessed for safety risks after a bushfire burnt through the mountain two weeks ago, burning over 1500 hectares.
There is no time frame for how long the mountain will be closed, and no indication when a timeframe might become known.
Wildlife Services ask people to respect the decision and not to enter the mountain.
