Here’s an overview of our Boat Harbour restoration project, and our two focus areas:

  • the Northern entrance is from Ocean Parade, along the walk corridor north to near the little bridge on the walk. More about this project here.
  • the Southern entrance is from around the carpark on Kingsley Drive, and along both sides of the shared walk/drive corridor. More about this project here.

We are planting native coastal species ~ over 1,500 trees, shrubs and ground covers throughout Autumn 2026 ~ to stabilise soil, support habitat recovery, encourage wildlife and provide a more visually pleasing environment.


Our earlier Autumn planting and dates

You’re invited to come along ~ family and community members, volunteers, and community, corporate or school groups. Help us plant and restore some of Tomaree’s treasured coastline ~ see dates below. We can arrange additional dates to suit a group.

Community plantings are open to everyone — but please book!

Our Friends of Tomaree National Park also have some regular work sessions which may include planting and/or management around the planting sites. Community volunteers are welcome to come to these sessions too.

Meeting location and more information will be emailed closer to the specific date.
