There has not yet been a "final outcome".
The 2010 Draft Plan of Management was put on exhibition in December of that year for public comment. At the end of the exhibition period the Draft was to undergo review before passing to the Advisory Committee who would then advise the NPWS Director General prior to the (revised?) final Plan being sent to the Minister for the Environment to sign off on it.
As you will imagine the process can take time.
Till the new Plan is promulgated, the current (1999) Plan remains in force and consequently climbing is still banned.
