Early in 2011 DSE closed the Lerderderg Track between Jubilee Lake and St Leonards Hill following storm damage. The track is still closed. GDTA has repeatedly requested that the track be reopened. At a meeting with DSE Midlands District in November 2011 the GDTA asked DSE to take urgent action to reopen the track.
DSE have advised that only DSE posts are allowed on their land. This means that on the Lerderderg Track between Jubilee Lake and Blackwood, DSE will replace all green GDT posts with grey DSE posts.

Feedback
The Great Dividing Trail Association relies on members of the public who use the our track to give us feedback.
From time to time posts get removed or vandalised, rain, erosion and vegetation obscure parts of the track, new access tracks are created and signs get damaged or removed. Upgrades of the Goldfields Track Section during 2010 changed some posts and signage and involved some minor rerouting. David Bannear dbannear@parks.vic.gov.au of Parks Victoria is the key person to contact in relation to the Goldfields Track upgrade.
Any track maintenance issues on any part of the GDT during 2012 should be brought to the attention of Ed Butler edbutl@gmail.com
