Central Coast Council has developed The Accessible Nature guide to help locals and visitors find some accessible bushland destinations, reserves and foreshore areas on the Central Coast.

The delivery of this guide is an action from Central Coast Council's Disability Inclusion Action Plan to make the Central Coast more accessible, inclusive and liveable.

The guide provides factual information for trip planning such as parking, amenities and other features to help people with a disability or limited mobility to get out in nature. Information on Council’s beach wheelchair and matting is also included.

Destinations include:

Bateau Bay picnic area
Carawah Boardwalk, West Gosford
Marie Byles Lookout, Killcare
Saltwater Creek Boardwalk, Long Jetty
Somersby Falls picnic area, Somersby
St Johns Lookout, Katandra Reserve, Mount Elliot
Warriwarri Walk, Kincumba Mountain, Kincumber
Yaruga Picnic Area, Rumbalara Reserve, Springfield

The easy to read brochure includes imagery, pictograms and maps and is available to view online and as a printed brochure, which can be picked up from Council's customer service centres (Wyong and Gosford) or libraries.

Central Coast Council is committed to improving accessibility to its services, facilities and spaces for people with a disability so that all residents and visitors can enjoy the local environment and activities. For more information, go to Council’s Accessibility and Inclusion webpage.
