If the park is safe on February 28, NPWS is planning on opening a section of the park so visitors can once again check it out.
The national park has been hit with two bushfires in recent months, first with a large fire in October 2019 and then a fire titled Mount Waa Wilderness this month.
NPWS crews are keeping a close eye on the Mount Waa Wilderness fire which started in the east of the national park on January 4. It's burnt over 3000 hectares of the national park.

The RFS also recently conducted backburning on Killarney Gap Road to protect properties in the area.
A Department of Planning, Industry and Environment spokesperson told the NVI the fire was managed by Rural Fire Service (RFS) crews in the beginning, but rain downgraded the threat.
"After the rainfall, the NPWS took over the fire management with NPWS and RFS crews patrolling the entire fireground," the spokesperson said.
"Previously, in October 2019, Mount Kaputar National Park was impacted by a much larger fire started by lightning strikes, which burned through over 18,000 hectares, including almost 16,000 hectares of the park.
"There was considerable damage to infrastructure and an extreme risk created by burnt trees beside roads and around camping grounds and walking tracks."
The spokesperson said flora and fauna in the park were largely considered safe, because native species were "generally very well adapted to fire and many have mechanisms that aid their recovery".
"While this season's fires in Mount Kaputar National Park have at times been intense and fast-moving, causing significant damage to both the plants and animals, two thirds of the park remains unburnt and islands of bush were left intact in burnt areas where animals could take refuge," the spokesperson said.
"While research into the impacts of the fire will be ongoing, it is unlikely that any plant or animal populations in the park have been put at risk."
