SubscriberA permanent ban on climbing Uluru will come into effect within two years.
The decision was made unanimously today by the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park board of management, who have set a closure date of 26 October 2019.
The date marks the 34th anniversary of Uluru being handed back to Anangu, the traditional owners of the sacred site.
The closure was flagged in the 2010-2020 management plan and required one of three preconditions to be met, including the proportion of visitors climbing falling below 20 percent.
More than 30 people have died attempting the Uluru climb and it is often closed during periods of high temperatures and weather or for cultural reasons.
A sign at the base of Uluru urges visitors to reconsider climbing the sacred site, explaining it is not permitted under traditional law.

It was distinctly frowned upon when I went back earlier this year. It's been a long time coming.
CTRL + V!
SubscriberI agree entirely, it is not a theme park.
Uluru climbs to be banned after unanimous vote
I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

AT REST
It doesn't bother me much, I did it back in 1985 and still remember the blisters I got. The funny thing was that there was a visitor's book at the top, so I wrote in it. Then I looked back to the beginning and realised it was nearly full from about two days. Showed me how trivial the achievement was. Nice view though. I wonder if the problem is that climbing takes revenue away from the helicopter tours?
Too old to care about going again now.
