Vehicle access to Muriwai Beach is currently limited after hours due to potential fire risks around Guy Fawkes.

The decision to limit overnight vehicle access to the beach was made for safety reasons and to reduce the risks associated with fire.

Auckland Council’s principal ranger, Stephen Bell, says Muriwai Beach borders a large pine forest and, with a prevailing onshore wind, it was important to be proactive to prevent fires occurring.

A gate has been installed on Coast Road and will be closed nightly until Sunday, November 10, between 10pm and 5am.
