Wet winter pushes back reopening date for Gibraltar Falls

Key points

• The reopening of Gibraltar Falls has been pushed back by several months, with the site now not expected to open until early 2027. The ACT Government says wet winter conditions delayed works that were due to finish by mid-2026.
• The falls have been closed since two men died there in separate incidents in February 2023. Safety measures include a 210-metre fence, closed access points and a new campground access point at Woods Reserve.
• Officials say final landscaping and site preparation still need to be completed before the precinct can safely reopen to visitors.
