Background

The council invited feedback on a proposal to install permanent bollards along the existing no-vehicle zone at Sellicks Beach.

We sought community feedback on a proposal to install permanent bollards along the existing no-vehicle zone at Sellicks Beach.

The engagement was about the bollard proposal only – vehicle access rules are not changing.

The proposed bollards aim to:

  • maintain car-free beach areas for safe, uninterrupted pedestrian access
  • improve safety for beachgoers
  • protect the coastal environment
  • prevent vehicles from entering restricted areas.

This engagement follows a deputation presented at the 14 October 2025 Council meeting and a subsequent notice of motion. It builds on previous Council discussions and community feedback about bollards and signage at Sellicks Beach, Aldinga and Silver Sands, which date back to 2018.

Your input will help determine whether bollards are installed and, if supported, what their design and function should be.

All community feedback will be considered by elected members in March 2026 before any decisions are made.
