If you look on the List at the moment the layer containing Statewide Closed Roads
Florentine Road is listed as:
"Access to Emergency Services Vehicles"
In contrast Scotts Peak Rd is:
"Essential Services Access Only"
In experience that would mean the gate near the Gordon River Road is highly likely to be locked.

Agree with doog however that finding a locked gate from the inside is not much fun...
Yes. It mostly about public liability, however getting caught up interfering with Emergency Services operations would be a bad idea.
They have been using explosives to remove dangerous trees down near the airwalk. You don't know what might be going on in there, hence I don't think you can make an informed judgement call.
