Double Bay Wharf Upgrade 13 June 2023
Steven London
The NSW Government is upgrading Double Bay Wharf as part of the Transport Access Program. This is not expected to have an impact on DBSC club racing. However you may see barges with anchor lines in the water in the area to the north of the club, and are advised to keep clear of any workers, barges or anchor lines near the wharf.
Also if you see Blue & White signal flag “Alpha” - you should assume in this case there are Divers working in the water, and avoid taking your sailing boat or motor boat into that area.
The wharf will close temporarily from Tuesday 13 June 2023 for around six months, weather permitting. Ferry travelers will need to use alternative transport during this time.

planned changes to the Bay St cul-de-sac
Local Council will coordinate to make changes to the Bay St cul-de-sac during the same time period. If you have any questions about the Bay Street upgrades please visit Woollahra’s web site HERE , or contact Council on 9391 7000.
The general overview is that they will move the turning circle further south as shown in this impression below. We are informed that DBSC will continue to have access through the new pedestrian area to the existing Bay St park gate near the playground (that is used by DBSC and the 18 footers for trailers to enter the park). We are informed that Ambulance access will also continue to be available to the club and to the beach area that is directly east of the 18 footers.
