    End of Bradleys Head Wharf closed

    Access restrictions are in place at Bradleys Head Wharf for public safety.

    Engineering inspections have identified significant deterioration of the structure, including movement and deterioration of sandstone blockwork, voiding and scour beneath parts of the jetty.

    NPWS has completed emergency stabilisation works to reduce the immediate risk of further deterioration or collapse. These works did not restore the wharf to a condition suitable for unrestricted public access.

    Bradleys Head Wharf is a heritage structure. Assessment of the wharf requires consideration of:

    • Public safety
    • Heritage values
    • Visitor access and use
    • Environmental considerations
    • Coastal and marine processes
    • Long-term sustainability and maintenance requirements.

    No final decision has been made. Further information will be provided as the assessment progresses. Thank you for your patience.

    Please email us if you have further enquiries.
