LORD HOWE ISLAND'S PERMANENT PARK PRESERVE CLOSED
The Lord Howe Island Board has announced that the World Heritage-listed Permanent Park Preserve is closed to visitors after myrtle rust was discovered on 3 February. Visitors cannot access the preserve via recognised access points, bush tracks or boats with or without authorised guides. The park’s closure will be assessed weekly by the island board as experts analyse the region to stop the spread.
