Sydney Water is building a new pump station at Parsley Bay and supporting infrastructure which will redirect untreated wastewater away from one of three of Sydney’s last remaining outfalls in Vaucluse and transfer it to the Bondi treatment plant.
The Parsley Bay Reserve car park and vehicle access to Horler Avenue will be closed from 29 May 2024 to late 2026. Read Sydney Water’s notification(PDF, 311KB) for more information.
Pedestrian access to Parsley Bay Reserve and the swimming area will be available via the existing access tracks from Fitzwilliam Road and The Crescent.
A new amenities block will be built in the existing Caretaker’s Cottage but temporary amenities will be available during the construction period.
The kiosk area will be closed during the construction of new amenities.
Construction is expected to start mid-2024.
