Recreation and Tourism

Victoria is a world-class tourist destination that offers outstanding recreational opportunities for visitors and locals alike.

From Alpine resorts to adventures in the Otways, the Department of Sustainability and Environment makes sure that nature-based tourism on public land remains sustainable.


Information on closures to State forest vehicle tracks, recreation sites and walking tracks which may be temporarily closed due to event damage (such as fire or flood) or seasonal closures (such as seasonal road closures over winter) can be found on the Public Access Map, an interactive map that shows where closures apply.
