Worth a read.
New snow chain rules are coming into effect this winter ❄️⛓️
From this winter, drivers who don’t fit chains on Council‑managed roads when required may face a $750 fine. This is enforceable under the Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2025, with Police responsible for issuing infringements.
Winter conditions can change quickly, so please make sure you’re carrying chains, confident fitting them, and following any signs or directions from Police, ski field teams or QLDC.
These changes will help keep our alpine routes moving and ensure grit trucks and emergency services can access roads when needed.
