The Royal National Park is traditionally busy over the New Year holiday period. As precincts and car parks become full at Wattamolla Beach, Garie Beach, Audley, Maianbar and Bundeena, road closures will be implemented.

When parking capacity is reached across all precincts, traffic will only be permitted to travel through the park. If there are significant delays, both the northern and southern entries to the park via Farnell Ave, Loftus and via Lady Wakehurst Dr, Otford will close.

Entry will be maintained via McKell Ave, Waterfall for residents only. 

Visitors are encouraged to check the Royal National Park local alerts before travelling for updates on precinct access.

Road closures when precincts reach capacity:

- Wattamolla Rd between Sir Bertram Stevens Dr and Wattamolla Beach
- Garie Rd between Sir Bertram Stevens Dr and Garie Beach
- Maianbar Rd between Bundeena Dr and Maianbar township
- Bundeena Dr between Sir Bertram Stevens Dr and Bundeena township.

Traffic controllers and NSW Police will be on-site managing access for local residents on Maianbar Rd and Bundeena Dr upon proof of residential address.

Wattamolla Beach carpark, Garie Beach carpark and Bonnie Vale carpark (at Bundeena)  are closed as these precincts have reached capacity.

Visitors are encouraged to check the Royal National Park local alerts before travelling for updates on precinct access.
