Surf Life Saving NSW news writes on Wednesday 8 September 2021:
Traffic around One Mile Beach Forster will be congested and in particular, parking close to the beach accesses will be very difficult. There will be traffic flow controls in place for residents of the area but please allow additional travel time for your movements.
Spectators to the beach are welcome, but please read the final event information as provided by Surf Life Saving NSW and the event organisers.
