welcome to Belmont wetlands state park

Belmont Wetlands State Park is a large area of natural bushland, sand dunes and wetlands nestled on the coast at Lake Macquarie near Redhead and Belmont. It is popular with walkers, 4WD vehicles and bird watchers alike.​ 

Belmont Wetlands State Park is run by a volunteer community group appointed by the Minister for Crown Land, the Belmont Wetlands State Land Manager Board (LMB). These volunteers are dedicated to restoring the environment, improving recreation and community access, and working with the community, Lake Macquarie City Council and other groups to ensure this State Park remains safe, beautiful and in public ownership.  The Board is not funded and all works are only possible with grants and partnerships. The land is a reserve owned by the State of NSW, and is Crown Land under the Department of Primary Industries. 
The Land Manager Board (LMB) meets monthly. If you have an issue or idea you would like tabled, please use our contact form.
