Council commenced a formal road process to close a portion of unmade public road reserve known as Ocean Road, Middleton (locally known as Glenford Gully Road), in accordance with the Roads (Opening and Closing) Act 1991.

This section of road has never been constructed or used as a public road and traverses steep, vegetated terrain, with no connection to active transport infrastructure. Historically, it has been used and maintained as part of the adjoining private property.

The proposed closure is a procedural step to resolve long-standing land management issues and provide clarity around property boundaries.

If road closure is supported through consultation, the closure will restrict access to motor vehicles but still accessible for walking, bicycles and horses.
