Closed areas: Beach front driving temporarily closed

Beachfront driving from Gan Gan Road at Anna Bay to Lavis Lane at Williamtown in the Worimi Conservation Lands is closed to all vehicles from Wednesday 3 March 2021 until further notice for public safety and to protect the important cultural landscape.  Large swell combined with high tides has created erosion, soft sand and steep drop-offs, making the beach impassable to all vehicles.

Dune driving in the Recreational Vehicle Area (RVA) south of the Lavis Lane entrance remains open, and is accessible via the Lavis Lane entrance only.  Staff will continue to monitor the conditions and will re-open the beachfront to driving when conditions improve.

Penalties apply for non-compliance. For more information, contact the NPWS Nelson Bay area office on 02 4984 8200.
