Uluṟu base walk track repairs and temporary closures

Work on the Uluṟu base walk will begin on Friday 1 May 2026 to repair damage caused by heavy rain in February and March. 

To minimise the disruption to visitors, the walking track will be closed in sections, with alternative routes offered wherever possible. 

Repairs will focus on sections of the Mala, Lungkaṯa, and Kuniya to Kuniya Piti walks, with work beginning at Lungkaṯa. 

At times, there will be diversions and signage in place, and our team will be on the ground to support where possible. 

When work takes place on the Kuniya Carpark to Kuniya Piti section of the walk, which includes Muṯitjulu Waterhole, diversions will not be possible. A courtesy shuttle will run between Kuniya Carpark and Kuniya Piṯi. We expect works in this area to take about three days, likely from 5-7 May. 

We will do our best to keep the Mala walk open throughout the repair works, though small sections of the walk and some caves may be closed for short periods. Kaṉtju Gorge will remain accessible at all times. 

We ask all park users to continue to take care while using walking tracks in the park: 

• watch your step, be mindful of trip hazards and take your time 
• wear sturdy, comfortable footwear 
• stay on marked tracks and paths and follow temporary diversions when provided. 

Works will be carried out in 2 blocks, with the first block expected to complete around 14 May. 

Thank you for your patience while we make the base walk a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone.
