Early Morning Fire Sparks Emergency Response In Collaroy Plateau

Emergency services responded to reports of a house fire just after 6.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 24 March 2026, at a two-storey property on Duncan Crescent in Collaroy Plateau.

Firefighters arrived to find flames affecting the lower level of the home, with the resident located upstairs and unable to exit safely due to fire conditions below. Additional crews were called as firefighters worked to access the property and contain the blaze.

Upper-Level Rescue Brings Resident To Safety

Crews used a ladder to reach the elderly man from an upper-floor window and assisted him safely down from the second storey. He was handed over to paramedics at the scene for assessment.

The man was treated for smoke inhalation and transported to Northern Beaches Hospital in a stable condition for further observation.

Fire Damage Concentrated On Lower Level

Firefighters entered the home wearing breathing apparatus to control the fire and conduct a full search of the property. No other occupants were found inside.

The lower level of the house sustained significant fire damage, while the upper level was impacted by smoke and heat. The blaze was extinguished shortly after 7.00 a.m., with crews remaining on site to clear smoke and check for any spread within wall and ceiling cavities.

The structure remained intact from the exterior, and the fire did not extend to neighbouring properties or nearby bushland. Power to the property was disconnected as a precaution during operations.

Cause Under Investigation As Safety Reminder Issued

The cause of the fire has not been confirmed and remains under investigation by specialist units.

Fire authorities also confirmed that the home did not have working smoke alarms. The incident has prompted renewed reminders about the importance of maintaining operational smoke alarms, which provide early warning and increase the likelihood of safe evacuation.

What This Collaroy Plateau Fire Means For Household Safety



Emergency crews contained the fire to the property and safely rescued the resident, while investigations continue into how the incident began. Authorities continue to stress the importance of basic fire safety measures in homes across Collaroy Plateau.

Shark Drone Now Patrolling Collaroy as NSW Scales Up Beach Safety Response

Collaroy Beach is one of 19 Sydney locations to be added to a statewide shark drone surveillance network, following a $4.2 million safety package announced in January 2026 in the wake of four shark attacks across NSW in 48 hours.

Surf Life Saving NSW drone operations at Collaroy began on 24 January and are scheduled to run seven days a week through to the end of the April school holidays. The expansion adds 30 beaches in total to the network — 19 in Sydney and 11 in regional NSW — with Collaroy joined on the Northern Beaches by Freshwater, North Narrabeen, Mona Vale and Avalon.

The package was triggered by a rapid sequence of attacks between Sunday 18 and Tuesday 20 January. At Nielsen Park in Vaucluse on 18 January, a 12-year-old boy was attacked by a suspected bull shark after jumping from a rock ledge into Sydney Harbour and later died in hospital. 

The following morning at Dee Why Point, a boy escaped unharmed after a shark bit through his surfboard. Later that Monday evening, a surfer in his 20s suffered severe leg injuries at North Steyne Beach in Manly that required amputation; he was taken to Royal North Shore Hospital in a critical condition. 

A fourth attack occurred on Tuesday 20 January at Point Plomer near Port Macquarie, where a 39-year-old surfer was knocked from his board by a suspected bull shark and sustained minor lacerations before being discharged. NSW Police noted that more than 120mm of rain had fallen on Sydney on 18 January in the lead-up to the attacks.

Surf Life Saving NSW CEO Steve Pearce said the expanded drone network marks a significant step up in aerial shark detection capacity.

“This new package represents a 90% increase on our current shark surveillance drone program — a significant enhancement that will see more drones flying at popular beaches along our coast, representing an additional 35,000 flying hours from 24 January to 26 April,” Pearce said.

“We know our SLS drones are an effective eye in the sky when it comes to early shark detection and warning beach users. So far in 2025/26, 50 Surf Life Saving NSW drones from Tweed to Bega have completed 29,431 flights over 8,044 flying hours. During that time 461 sharks were sighted.”

Beyond drones, the package funds targeted research into bull shark movements in Sydney Harbour and surrounding estuaries, with scientists from the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development tasked with tracking residency patterns and identifying higher-risk periods — particularly following storms and heavy rainfall. New listening stations will also be installed in the harbour to speed up detection of tagged sharks and alert users to their presence.

The SharkSmart community education campaign will be upgraded as part of the rollout, incorporating new beach signage, a mobile education van and increased social media alerts.

NSW Minister for Agriculture, Regional and Western NSW, Tara Moriarty, said there was no single solution to shark safety and that no authority could guarantee completely safe conditions in the ocean. She said the priority was deploying a range of tools to keep the public informed.

The measures add to NSW’s existing Shark Management Program, which encompasses 305 SMART drumlines, shark nets at 51 beaches between Newcastle and Wollongong, and 37 listening stations along the coast. A $2.5 million funding boost in December had already brought drone patrols forward earlier in the season, extended coverage into weekends and placed 150 shark bite kits in regional communities.

E-Bike Riders Cause Chaos at Long Reef Golf Club as Calls for Regulation Intensify

Dozens of young e-bike riders descended on Long Reef Golf Club in Collaroy last month, leaving wheel marks across greens and adding fuel to growing calls for tighter regulations on electronic bicycles across Sydney’s northern beaches.


Read: Police Flag Safety Response After E-Bike Rideouts Affect Collaroy Area


Police were called to the popular golf course in January after reports of a large group of youths riding through the facility. By the time officers arrived, the riders had dispersed. NSW Police confirmed inquiries are continuing.

Video footage of the incident, shared on social media, captured the scale of the incursion that disrupted play and caused minor damage to the meticulously maintained course.

Long Reef Golf Club general manager Ben Russell revealed the incident was far from isolated, saying the facility experiences vandalism from young people on e-bikes multiple times each week. He described the acts as senseless, though noted that damage to date has been repairable and hasn’t forced any holes out of play.

While the damage from the January incident wasn’t extensive—some wheel marks and small indentations on the greens—Russell emphasised that the disruption to golfers was significant. He estimated around a dozen individuals appeared to be instigating the behaviour, showing no respect for others and being verbally confrontational, whilst the remainder seemed to be following the crowd.

Russell said approximately a dozen instigators demonstrated zero respect for those around them and were verbally abusive, while the rest appeared to be young people simply following along. With characteristic dry humour, he added that he had never seen that many young people turn up genuinely interested in playing golf before.

The incident forms part of a broader pattern of mass e-bike gatherings across Sydney’s northern beaches and beyond. Local outlet Manly Observer posted footage on the same day showing large groups of e-bike riders travelling through area streets. Similar congregations were captured on video in Cronulla over the weekend, suggesting the phenomenon is spreading.

Local MP Jacqui Scruby, Independent Member for Pittwater, responded to the Long Reef incident with concern, calling for stronger accountability measures. She expressed shock at seeing the videos and photos of irresponsible riding across the golf club’s greens.

Scruby acknowledged that while many e-bike riders behave responsibly, incidents like these demonstrate the need for greater rider accountability. She argued that measures such as registration plates would help police identify rule-breakers and deter bad behaviour by making riders easier to identify.

The local MP has drafted legislation aimed at addressing e-bike safety and accountability issues. Her proposed bill includes improved education for young riders, a licensing scheme, and enhanced enforcement powers. Scruby said these initiatives, if adopted, would work effectively to prevent similar situations in future.

The Pedestrian Council of Australia has also weighed in on the issue, with chairman Harold Scruby warning parents about potential liability. He told Nine News that parents need to understand that if their children are riding unregistered, uninsured vehicles, they could be held liable for any injuries caused.

E-bikes have faced mounting scrutiny following recent tragedies and safety concerns. Premier Chris Minns announced plans in December to halve the power limit of e-bikes, a move that came on the same day as a fatal e-bike accident at Ultimo. That death was one of four e-bike fatalities recorded in NSW in the early weeks of 2025.

Medical and legal professionals have joined calls for mandatory insurance coverage for e-bike riders, similar to the compulsory third-party insurance required for motor vehicles. A parliamentary inquiry has recommended insurance for private e-bikes, with shared e-bike schemes already required to carry compulsory third-party coverage.

For Long Reef Golf Club and its members, the January incident serves as a stark reminder of an ongoing challenge. As Russell continues to repair minor damage and work with authorities, the broader community grapples with balancing young people’s freedom to enjoy outdoor activities with the need for safety and respect for public and private spaces.

Police Flag Safety Response After E-Bike Rideouts Affect Collaroy Area

Police have flagged enforcement action across Sydney’s Northern Beaches following a series of mass e-bike rideouts, including an incident at a Collaroy golf course that raised safety and compliance concerns.



Collaroy Golf Course Incident

In January, a large group of young e-bike riders entered Long Reef Golf Club during daylight hours. Riders were filmed moving across course areas and riding over grass mounds, disrupting play.

Golfers contacted police after reporting dozens of riders on the course. Officers conducted patrols, but the group had already left by the time police arrived. Reporting differs on the exact size and timing of the group, with estimates ranging from more than 30 to about 60 riders on a Friday in January.

Club representatives later said the damage was not extensive, but the incident caused significant disruption.

Rideouts Draw Attention Across Northern Beaches

Large e-bike rideouts involving groups of young riders have been occurring across the Northern Beaches, with gatherings organised through social media and digital flyers. Some rideouts have drawn dozens of participants, with reports indicating crowds of up to about 100 riders in certain cases.

Footage described in reporting shows groups riding together on public roads and near intersections, prompting concerns about traffic disruption and rider safety. Police say they have been monitoring planned rideouts for several weeks.

Police Compliance Activity

Northern Beaches Police confirmed officers attended the advertised starting point of a planned rideout at Brookvale Oval, where police maintained a visible presence.

Police conducted compliance checks focusing on helmet use, adherence to road rules, and whether e-bikes had been illegally modified to exceed the legal 25 km/h speed limit.

Under current road laws, e-bikes altered beyond legal limits may be treated as unregistered and uninsured motor vehicles. Police reiterated that offences such as speeding or riding without a helmet can attract fines of up to $3,000.

Broader Safety Concerns

Similar e-bike gatherings were reported in other Northern Beaches suburbs, including Manly, Dee Why and Manly Vale. National reporting also highlighted comparable incidents in Cronulla and Melbourne, indicating the issue extended beyond the local area.

Cycling industry representatives noted that while e-bikes offer mobility benefits, unsafe riding behaviour and the use of high-powered or modified bikes increase risks for riders, pedestrians and other road users.

Ongoing Monitoring

Police said monitoring of e-bike activity across the Northern Beaches remained ongoing, with enforcement action taken where unsafe or anti-social behaviour was identified.



Members of the public with information about dangerous e-bike use were encouraged to contact police or Crime Stoppers.

Teenager Fights Flames at Collaroy Plateau With Garden Hose

A quick-thinking teenager grabbed a garden hose to fight flames erupting from a neighbour’s backyard shed at Collaroy Plateau this morning.



Emergency services were called to Fuller Street just before 11:15am on Monday following reports of thick smoke billowing from behind a two-storey timber-clad residence.

Ryan Barnes, 18, was alerted to the blaze after hearing unusual popping sounds from the neighbouring property. After he and his parents detected smoke, they discovered flames already emerging from the shed structure.

Mr Barnes’ father, Greg, passed a hose over the fence, allowing his son to attempt to control the fire before emergency crews arrived. However, the intense heat eventually forced the teenager to retreat to safety.

Several residents contacted Triple Zero, with Greg Barnes reporting that sirens were audible before he had even finished his emergency call. Despite the early intervention with the garden hose, the fire rapidly intensified and spread to nearby fencing and a tree.

Firefighting crews from Narrabeen and Dee Why stations reached the scene shortly after 11:15am. They connected hose lines to a street hydrant positioned directly in front of the affected property and deployed breathing apparatus to tackle the blaze.

The two crews used a substantial water volume to halt the fire’s progression, successfully extinguishing it by 11:45am. Fuller Street remained closed to traffic between Acacia Street and Grevillea Street during the emergency response.

The timber shed suffered complete destruction, though firefighters managed to limit additional damage to surrounding fences and minor heat damage to the main residence. No injuries occurred during the incident.



The property’s occupants were away when the fire started and returned to speak with firefighters about the incident. According to Fire and Rescue NSW Narrabeen Station Officer Scott Bennett, the shed’s complete destruction has complicated efforts to determine what sparked the blaze, with the cause remaining unknown at this time.

Collaroy SLSC Volunteer Saxon Lysaght-Wheeler Recognised With National Medal For Long Service

Saxon Lysaght-Wheeler from Collaroy SLSC has been recognised with a National Medal for long service in surf lifesaving, earned through years of verified patrol and safety work with the club.



Community Service Recognised

The recognition places Collaroy SLSC among clubs represented in the latest national honours round announced by Surf Life Saving Australia. The National Medal acknowledges long service carried out in roles involving personal risk, including beach patrols, rescues, first aid, and preventative actions. 

The honours list names Lysaght-Wheeler as the recipient from Collaroy Surf Life Saving Club. The award recognises a local volunteer who contributed across many patrol seasons.

What The National Medal Represents

The Commonwealth established the National Medal in 1975 as part of Australia’s official honours system. Commonwealth regulation sets eligibility, not Surf Life Saving Australia, and applies strict service requirements.

Members must complete a minimum of 15 full years of operational service, record at least 30 patrol or lifeguard hours each season, and remain proficient throughout their service. All service must be active, verified, and completed before an application is accepted for assessment. 

Collaroy SLSC In Context

Collaroy Surf Life Saving Club formed in 1911 after community concerns about beach safety. The club has remained volunteer based for more than a century and patrols Collaroy Beach and nearby coastal areas.

Its documented history shows generations of members giving their time and skills to surf lifesaving and beach safety across the northern beaches. 

Recognition At Club Level

National Medals are presented at club or service level to keep recognition grounded in the communities where the service occurs. At Collaroy, Lysaght-Wheeler’s award reflects sustained commitment across many patrol seasons rather than a single incident. 



The recognition links a national honour back to local surf lifesaving service and ongoing community safety efforts relied on by residents and visitors.

First time my wife and I have eaten in at the Indian Joint since moving to Collaroy Plateau. My first impression was of us being welcomed in by just about every staff member. Next was the aroma of fresh spices and herbs that waft out of the kitchen. Service was really good. We were not rushed to order. The food was fantastic. You know how some Indian restaurant food tastes like it has been cooking for too long? This is NOT one of those restaurants. The food was fresh, tender and tasty. The serving sizes were spot on. Everything was just great. We will definitely be back to wander up the menu and see what else they have to offer. Try the Indian Joint out and I bet you’ll love it too. Cheers.

Recommended to come here from one of our group and really glad we followed their suggestion. We were originally a group of six for Sunday lunch but two cancelled but this was no issue for the team. We were looked after as each of our group arrived and not rushed into making our choices.
The food is fabulous and the menu has a great variety along with a range of pricing so should suit many.
We had salmon, arancini (4 pieces), penne, rocket salad, & a caprese salad. Each beautifully presented and all very tasty.
A great option and parking just across the street at the beach.
