Closures
Upgrades to the Palm Jungle track will commence in January 2023. These works are expected to take 12 months to complete. The eastern section of the Palm Jungle loop track is closed between Burning Palms and Werrong lookout. Walking to/from Otford is possible, but walkers need to divert via Burgh Ridge trail and Garawarra Farm.
Due to a landslide, Transport for NSW has closed Garie Road at the intersection with Sir Bertram Stevens Drive. Vehicles and pedestrians cannot use any part of Garie Road to access Garie Beach and its surrounds. A reopening date for this road is not currently known but is expected to be in mid to late 2023.
The Coast Track is closed between Garie and Little Garie until further notice due to rock falls and erosion. Passing through this section is not possible, and walkers must retrace their steps or exit the track at an earlier point.
