We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the recent introduction of 8-hour parking restrictions at McCarrs Creek Reserve by the Northern Beaches Council. As frequent users of the facilities at McCarrs Creek for accessing our vessels moored at the TfNSW moorings, we believe these restrictions pose significant challenges to our boating activities.

While we understand the need for parking regulations, the rationale behind these restrictions is unclear, especially considering the rarity of parking shortages in the area. The sudden imposition of these restrictions disproportionately impacts boat users, who rely on the dinghy storage facility, boat ramp, and jetty to access our boats.

The new parking restrictions severely limit our ability to enjoy overnight stays on our vessels and significantly curtail our opportunities for day sails. This not only diminishes our recreational enjoyment but also undermines the accessibility of the area for water activities.

Therefore, we call on the Northern Beaches Council to reconsider these parking restrictions as a matter of urgency. Alternatively, we propose the implementation of a revised scheme that accommodates the needs of boat users without penalizing them. This could include designated parking areas or the introduction of a permit system that allows for extended parking durations for registered boat users.

By revisiting these restrictions and working collaboratively with the boating community, the Council can ensure that public spaces like McCarrs Creek Reserve remain inclusive and accessible to all residents and visitors.
