The Northern Access Track sustained major damage due to severe weather and flooding in 2022. The 20km track between Poverty Creek turnoff and Fort Bribie day-use area still has wet and boggy sections that continue to flood with minor rain events. Major roadworks are planned to commence in early 2023, weather permitting, for rebuilding of rock inverts and raise the track level to prevent future closures after rain events.

The following remain closed to vehicles:

• Northern Access Track between Poverty Creek access track and Fort Bribie day-use area.
• Lighthouse Reach day-use area (boat only access)

Ocean Beach, a 1.8km section of Ocean Beach has reopened to vehicles from Fort Bribie day-use area to the mine control hut. Vehicles are prohibited north of this location. The mine control hut is just a short walk (50m) to the 1st gun emplacement where you can explore the WWII Fort Bribie battery and field camp.

Motorist should use caution when travelling along Ocean Beach and before crossing lagoons as fast flowing water and soft sand can make vehicle crossing dangerous. Driving over vegetated dunes is not permitted. Beach travel is recommended two hours either side of low tide. Traveling three hours either side of high tide should be avoided.

Please monitor park alerts on the department's website for updated information.

Please observe all signage, barriers and directions from rangers and do not enter closed areas.
