Kinloch Road Closure
Latest information on the closure of Kinloch Road. Updated 1.00pm, 12 November 2024.
Kinloch Road remains impassable due to a washout, and will remain closed for several more days. This web page has been set up to provide updates on the road and information for those affected.
Construction of temporary bypass underway
Our engineering and construction teams are committed to re-establishing a route out of Kinloch as soon as possible.
Work is underway to construct a temporary road through private property. This will allow vehicles to bypass the washout.
We are still establishing a confirmed timeframe for the temporary road to be completed and hope to be able to update on this tomorrow morning (13 November)
The temporary bypass is an interim solution to allow people to get back to Glenorchy and continue their onward journey.
The remediation of Kinloch Road itself is not a simple fix given the road has been washed away and not just flooded. Once the temporary bypass has been completed, our teams can focus on what’s required to rebuild the road.
Options for those affected:
Council continues to liaise with affected individuals and organisations including the Retreat, DOC and Greenstone Station.
If you are affected by the road closure you have the following options:
-
Stay in place and leave via the temporary bypass, when it is completed.
-
Contact the Kinloch Wilderness Lodge, who have been helping people to leave via boat and share information. Please note if you choose to leave, arrangements will need to be made separately for the retrieval of vehicles or any personal belongings that can’t be taken with you.
Concerned about missing a flight connection?
Anyone with concerns about onward travel should contact their insurer or flight operator to discuss what assistance is available.
What about rental cars
Please contact your rental car company to discuss your options. You could remain in place until the temporary bypass is completed, or leave Kinloch and arrange the retrieval of the rental car at a later date.
Personal belongings
We’re aware some people have left Kinloch but have been unable to take some of their personal belongings. If you choose to come back to retrieve belongings before access is restored, please be aware you are doing this at your own cost and risk.
Information for visitors arriving in Kinloch after 9 November 2024
Council is working as quickly as possible to restore access to Kinloch and Greenstone Valley. Anyone who chooses to go into this area after the road closure was put in place, does so at their own risk and will need to make their own arrangements to leave if access if not yet restored.
Stay safe and up-to-date
We’ll be keeping this web page updated as new information is available and sharing new details on our Facebook page.
Please keep safe and observe the road closure – anyone who chooses not to follow official advice does so at their own risk.
