Closed areas: Temporary closures for aerial weed spraying operation
Sections of coastal areas in parks between Hat Head and Harrington will be closed between Monday 20 May and Friday 31 May 2019. This is for a weed control operation targeting bitou bush.
Sections of beaches, carparks, roads and walking tracks will be closed temporarily while aerial spraying operations are underway. The affected parks are:
- Hat Head National Park
- Goolawah National Park and Regional Park
- Limeburners Creek National Park
- Crowdy Bay National Park
- Kattang Nature Reserve
NSW National Parks staff will be on-site during closures and signage will be in place advising of the work.
This operation is dependent on weather conditions. Aerial spraying won't be carried out within 150 metres of campgrounds or neighbouring residences. It also won't be carried out during weather conditions where spray drift may impact these areas. All areas will reopen after completion.
Hungry, Racecourse, Delicate, Melaleuca, Point Plomer, Diamond Head, Indian Head, Kylies Beach and The Gap campgrounds will remain open at all times.
Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, please call the NPWS Hastings Macleay office on 02 6588 5555 or visit the NSW National Parks safety page for park safety guidelines.
