Queenscliff access ramp opens on coastal walk

The NSW Government has contributed $1 million towards the Queenscliff Access Ramp project through the NSW Public Spaces Legacy Program.

The 110-metre ramp on Queenscliff Headland has now been opened, just in time for the busy summer month on the Northern Beaches.

The ramp, which is an addition to the historical staircase at Queenscliff Headland, will improve safety and accessibility, especially for children, families, the elderly and individuals with limited mobility.

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said the ramp is a great community assist to be used for decades.

“This project not only improved accessibility to the Queenscliff headland but also preserves and maintains one of the Northern Beaches most iconic and historic staircases accessing the headland,” said Minister Scully.

Works took just over three months, with the ramp design having minimal visual impact, less disruption for residents, a short construction period and a low cost.

Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said the much-needed ramp will benefit the entire community.

“The ramp is more than just a pathway - its a commitment to ensuring everyone can move freely and confidently. Together, we’re building a place where accessibility is a priority for all,” said Mayor Heins.
