Emergency services have been called to a popular Sunshine Coast hinterland mountain that is currently closed after reports of a person stuck on a walking track.

A Queensland Fire Department spokesman said firefighters were called to Mt Ngungun in the Glass House Mountains just before 6pm.

Paramedics have also been called to the mountain.

The fire spokesman said firefighter crews and the technical rescue team were attending.

It is understood the person had a leg injury and was unable to walk out unassisted and was also suffering neck pain after tripping.

On Monday, the state government environment department announced the mountain was closed.

The closure was put in place by the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service because of the risk of a serious rockfall at one of the mountain’s rock-climbing areas.

The closure applies to all permit holders and rock climbers, abseilers and to all other visitors to the affected area.

Rangers were on site on Monday to assess and place appropriate notices on affected walking tracks and public areas.

A department spokesman said earlier in the week that the duration of Mount Ngungun’s temporary closure was unknown.

Members of the public were advised to monitor QPWS’s Park Alerts web pages for ongoing information.
