Flinders Ocean Beach Car Park and Track Project
In 2020, following a major rain event a significant landslide occurred below the Flinders Ocean Beach visitor car park near the King Street Beach Access walking track – causing a large section of the car park to collapse and the steep slope continues to be unstable. To ensure the safety of visitors, we're decommissioning the car park. We'll also upgrade and realign the beach access track to help reopen the walking track to the community and keep it safe for many years to come.
Critical safety works are being planned for Flinders Pier using funding from the 2022-23 State Budget.
