Jenolan Caves to remain closed during the major road repair work.

Essential road repairs by Transport for NSW will see the historic Jenolan Caves precinct remain closed for around 18 months.

Jenolan Caves has been closed to the public since extreme rainfall flooded buildings and caused landslips on 5 April 2024.

Transport for NSW have now confirmed essential road repairs to return the ‘Two Mile’ section of Jenolan Caves Road to full capacity will begin in August 2024.

Over the last few years the road has suffered extensive damage from storms, fire and flooding events.

While guests are unable to visit the precinct, Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust will complete a program of upgrades and maintenance, including major work on the historic Jenolan Caves House.

Planned works at the heritage-listed Jenolan Caves also include building a Blue Lake Boardwalk and upgrading tracks, trails and the visitor car park.

The update to Caves House, which was built in 1898, includes:

• upgrading the guest arrival area
• upgrade of all traditional guest rooms to include ensuites
• refurbishment to Chisholm’s Grand Dining Room and Jeremiah’s Bar and Lounge
• compliance works to improve access for all guests
• improve accessibility throughout Caves House

During the closure, project updates and news will be shared via Jenolan’s social media accounts and website.
