Storm damages Long Reef boardwalk

The timber boardwalk connecting Long Reef Beach and headland has been severely damaged by the intense weather and large swells overnight and the area is now closed to the public.

Walkers are advised to avoid the area and fences have been erected to ensure public safety.

We ask that the public be patient while we assess the damage. Please do not walk through the golf course or trample the vegetation by walking through the dunes.

Council will attempt to undertake temporary repairs to restore the boardwalk however, initial assessments indicate that it will need to be rebuilt in the next six to twelve months.

We understand how popular the walkway is, particularly during this time, and will prioritise this project so it is complete as soon as possible.
