Molineux Point, at the end of Prince of Wales Drive, has been a popular destination for for cyclists and walkers. However, increasingly it is getting more difficult to access. (Photo above shows a group of cyclists turned away from their morning cycle because the gates are locked – 7th June, 2014)
This writer notes another incident:
On the morning of Sunday 31 August at 8.00am, I was with a group of cyclists. We found the gates at the north east end of Prince of Wales Road locked, thereby preventing access to Molineaux Point. This issue has been raised at a past meeting.
- Do you have any minute records of this item?
- Is there any reason for these gates to be there at all?

Yes, this is a fantastic route for cyclists, drivers and joggers and offers a rare view of the harbour otherwise not often seen. The gates are often closed, however the timing is inconsistent from my experience. This is a great community amenity and the public would love access during the day.
