Dog On Leash Access - Narrawallee Beach from Surfers Ave

12 September 2019

At its meeting of 27 August, Council resolved (MIN19.578) to conduct a six months trial for dog walkers seeking to access Narrawallee Beach from Surfers Avenue.

The trial is required to address the following:

1. The required trial access route from Surfers Avenue is to be via the Shoalhaven Water thoroughfare to its end, then on to the rear of the beach keeping close to the escarpment, proceeding to the foot of the Victor Avenue stairs and then on to the designated “dog off-leash” area” to the north.
2. From Surfers Avenue to the Victor Avenue stairs all dogs must be kept on a leash.

The trial is not to commence until: all necessary signage is installed; access from the Shoalwater track from the beach is made good and: in the order of five bollards are installed along the rear of the beach (base of escarpment) to the Victor Avenue stairs. In addition, pictorial bollard signage directing dog walkers to keep to the escarpment side is a requirement of the trial.
