The 110-metre ramp on Queenscliff Headland has been opened in time for the busy summer month as people flock to our amazing beaches. 

The ramp on the northside of Greycliffe Street will improve safety and improve access especially for children, families, the elderly, and individuals with limited mobility. 

Northern Beaches Mayor Sue Heins said the much-needed ramp will benefit many in the community.

“The new ramp is in addition to the historical staircase at Queenscliff Headland a well utilised connection of our spectacular coast walk.

"This ramp is more than just a pathway—it's a commitment to ensuring everyone can move freely and confidently. Together, we're building a place where accessibility is a priority for all." Mayor Heins said. 

Two options were considered for the ramp design with a straight ramp being the final concept constructed due to its minimal visual impact, the reduced level of rock excavation required, less disruption for residents, shorter construction period, minimal stormwater and service relocations and a significantly lower cost.  

Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully said the NSW Government has contributed $1 million towards the Queenscliff Access Ramp project through the NSW Public Spaces Legacy Program.

“This project not only improves accessibility to the Queenscliff headland but also preserves and maintains one of the Northern Beaches most iconic and historic staircases accessing the headland.

“I’m sure the new access ramp will be a great community asset for the Queenscliff community to use for decades to come.”
Works took just over 3 months to complete. For more history on the project visit our website.
