MCCARRS CREEK ROAD CLOSURE

Monday 17 October to Friday 21 October

RMS will be closing McCarrs Creek Road from Monday 17 October to Friday 21 October between 10 am and 3 pm to carry out emergency works. 

There will be no access between Church Point and Terry Hills between these times.


Work on McCarrs Creek Road, Ku-Ring-Gai Chase, Church Point from Monday 17 October

The NSW Government is funding this essential maintenance work 900 metres west of McCarrs Creek Reserve between West Head Road and Walkers Place to provide a stronger, longer lasting and safer road.

Roads and Maritime Services will carry out the work which includes repairing the rock bolting and investigating ground conditions. We have included a map to explain the work’s location.

This work will take five shifts to complete between Monday 17 October and Friday 21 October, weather permitting. Our working hours will be from 10am to 3pm.

How will the work affect you?

There will be some noise associated with this work. We will make every effort to minimise its impact.
Traffic changes

Full road closures will be in place and will affect travel times. McCarrs Creek Road will be closed for five shifts with no access between Chiltern Trail and Walker Place from 10am to 3pm between Monday 17 October and Friday 21 October.

East and west bound motorists will need to divert onto Mona Vale Road at Terrey Hills and Ingleside, then onto Pittwater Road and Mona Vale to access Church Point. We have included a map to explain the diversion route. The detour for motorists traveling in either direction will add up to 30 minutes to travel times.

Please keep to speed limits and follow the direction of traffic controllers and signs. For the latest traffic updates, you can call 132 701, visit livetraffic.com or download the Live Traffic NSW App.

Property Wanted to Rent or Purchase

Hi again. We are the same young family (thought we would spare you the photo this time) looking for a property to rent or purchase on the Island as our current tenancy agreement is unfortunately coming to an end in December.

Our preference is to stay on the Island and continue this fantastic experience and lifestyle. We are open to suggestions for renting properties both waterfront or not.  As far as purchasing is concerned our budget has its limits and therefore waterfront acquisition isn’t an option.

Please feel free to call us for a friendly discussion. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Luigi, Bénédicte & Matteo.
