Oatley Park security upgrades now complete

30/06/2026

Georges River Council has finished new security upgrades at Oatley Park. This helps protect a beloved natural space while keeping it accessible for the community.

The project installed two new security gates with signage at the main entrance on Oatley Park Avenue. It also upgraded access points and added large sandstone blocks to stop unauthorised vehicles.

Oatley Park is a popular local spot. It has sports fields, bushland, walking tracks, and picnic areas. It is also a designated wildlife protection area, home to native plants and animals that need ongoing care and protection.

The upgrades were shaped by strong community feedback received during consultation. Residents highlighted the need for improved security. They also stressed the importance of protecting the environment. Additionally, they want to ensure the park remains accessible and welcoming for everyone.

Georges River Council Mayor Elise Borg said the finished works balance access and protection. She also thanked everyone who gave feedback.

"Council has heard our community and made changes to keep Oatley Park safe while also preserving its natural beauty," the Mayor said.

The new security gates and its support measures will help reduce vandalism and protect the park's environment. This change will still allow people to enjoy the space throughout the day and evening.

Community members are encouraged to report any vandalism or damage in the park. Reports can be made through Council's Log It or Fix It or by calling Council on (02) 9330 6400 during business hours. In an emergency, call 000, or for non-urgent police matters, you can call the Police Assistance Line on 131 444.
