Walking trails in the Diamond Head section of Crowdy Bay National Park will be affected by closures from 3rd March 2025 for maintenance and erosion repair.

The works will involve repairing significant erosion sustained in the 2022 floods, along reinstating drainage, installing stairs, seating and other supportive infrastructure. The walking trails affected are:

Diamond Head Loop walk

Walking trails will be closed during the week, with every effort made to reopen trails for weekends and public holidays.

The works are expected to take four months to deliver, however this is weather dependant.

Safety alerts: Visitor Advisory - Road Access to Crowdy Bay National Park Campgrounds

Visitors are advised that the most suitable access route for low-clearance vehicles or those towing caravans to Diamond Head, Indian Head, and Kylies Beach campgrounds is via Diamond Head Road from the north, through Laurieton. To reach Laurieton, take the Kew exit from the Pacific Highway.

Access to Crowdy Bay National Park campgrounds via the Moorland exit is generally more challenging for vehicles towing caravans, due to narrower roads and a lower quality road surface.

For further information, please contact the local NPWS office at (02) 6588 5555.
