⚠️ Town Beach and Coastal Walk safety update

Large swells over recent days, combined with more severe weather conditions forecast, have caused further impacts around Town Beach and sections of the Coastal Walk.

Following inspections, PMHC teams have identified movement and slippage near the Town Beach seawall and surrounding coastal areas.

To help keep the community safe, some access points to Town Beach have been temporarily closed while assessments continue.

We understand this is a well-loved part of our coastline and appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation during this time.

Please follow all signage and barriers in place and avoid entering closed areas.

Our teams will continue to monitor conditions closely and provide updates as more information becomes available.

If you notice anything that needs our attention, please report it via our website or call us on 02 6581 8111 for emergencies.
