03.01.2022 Update: the lagoon entrance was cleared once more and reopened by 9.40am.

Such is the challenge of working with nature! We’ll keep you posted. As Narrabeen Lagoon has reached the levels that trigger a mechanical opening, and with more rain forecast, crews are on site and the lagoon ent...rance is expected to be open ahead of the high tide this afternoon.
