Pine Harbour - Roadworks

From Monday, 3 November, a one-way system will be in place at Pine Harbour Marina from just past the Coffee Collective carpark entrance to just after the showroom.

Traffic lights will operate to manage flow, phased to favour incoming traffic in the morning and outgoing traffic in the afternoon and evening.

This temporary change is required to complete essential drainage and groundworks along the roadway. Please allow extra time when travelling through the area.
