Consultation period: 22 November to 17 January 2022

Gymea Bay Baths Reserve is a bushland reserve providing access to the netted tidal baths at the head of Gymea Bay on the Hacking River. It is an important public recreation facility for the Sutherland Shire.

Council is preparing a draft Masterplan for Gymea Bay Baths Reserve to address some of the issues related to use and management of the reserve, to set its future vision and improve how the space is used. These improvements aim to provide better opportunities for recreation and to support active lifestyles now and in the future.
