Only my opinion but I think I would find it psychologically soul destroying (for example) if you walk all the way around to Hansons Peak via Lake Wilks, then have to turn around and reverse the route.
The finish will be in sight close by but you can't get there, at least not lawfully. Last time I was there I walked Dove Lake > Lake Wilks > Face Track > Kitchen Hut > Wombat Pool et al.
There are obviously options for other circuits, side trips etc, really depends on what you are comfortable with. I can't comment on Rodway as I haven't done it. My only other thought - is there a legitimate route to return via Mt Campbell from Hansons Peak, avoiding the closed area? I don't know the answer but someone else might.
