At a meeting held between various parties in Mildura on the 30/3/05 Including Parks Vic, South Australia's Dept of Environment and Heritage, SAFWDA and VICFWDA.

The meeting was very sad because the Ngarkat Management Plan, in which we had no consultation, calls for the closure of the Border Track on the 15th November until the 15th April in each year.
The reason is that the local Ranger is the head of fire control and does not want any people in the Park in case there is a fire.

But there was more. As if that is not enough there is a plan to Tax/Toll people who use the track. The proposal is to have a Park Pass for driving through the Park.
Brett Cheatley from PV (he is the Western Victoria Manager) was somewhat surprised about these announcements.

VICFWDA will keep members appraised of the situation and advise members what if any action may need to be taken.
