There will be no access to the beach using this track while the new structure is built. Visitors will need to use the old 4WD beach access track located 20m away. There will be some disturbance from construction noise during normal work hours of 8am-5pm, Monday to Friday.

Other planned events: Notice of 1080 Program
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting a ground baiting program in Queens Lake Nature Reserve & Queens Lake State Conservation Area from 23 March 2026 to 31 May 2026. The operation will use 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes. The program is designed to minimise predator impacts on wildlife, especially threatened species, and to minimise impact of wild dogs on neighbouring stock. Signs will be placed at the park/reserve entry to the baiting locations. Domestic pets are not permitted in NSW National Parks managed lands. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting location. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance. Please contact the local Port Macquarie NPWS area office for more information on 6588 5555.
