Toukley 9231-3N Topographic Map 1:25,000

Detailed NSW Central Coast Topographic Mapping | Toukley, Norah Head, Budgewoi Lake, Tuggerah Lake, Magenta Beach & Wyrrabalong National Park | Paper, Waterproof Tyvek® & Laminated

🏞️ Explore the Coastal Lakes, Beaches and Headlands of Toukley

Discover the beautiful coastal lakes, sandy beaches and spectacular headlands of the New South Wales Central Coast with the Toukley 9231-3N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Toukley and the surrounding coastline between Budgewoi Lake, Tuggerah Lake and the Pacific Ocean, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for coastal explorers, environmental professionals, surveyors, engineers, land managers and emergency services.

The Toukley district occupies a distinctive landscape where extensive shallow coastal lakes are separated from the ocean by sandy beaches, low dunes and narrow stretches of developed coastal land.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Toukley, Noraville, Canton Beach, Norah Head, Magenta, The Entrance North and the northern shores of Tuggerah Lake.

Budgewoi Lake is a defining geographical feature of the district. Connected to Tuggerah Lake beneath Toukley Bridge, it forms part of the interconnected Tuggerah Lakes estuary, which also includes Lake Munmorah farther north.

These shallow waterways support important aquatic vegetation, wetland habitats, recreational fishing and extensive foreshore reserves.

The town of Toukley occupies a narrow peninsula between Budgewoi Lake and Tuggerah Lake. Its position illustrates the relationship between coastal settlement, transport routes and the surrounding estuarine environment.

Nearby, Canton Beach provides a sheltered lakeside setting, with foreshore reserves overlooking Tuggerah Lake. To the east, Noraville extends towards the Pacific coast and the prominent headland at Norah Head.

The historic Norah Head Lighthouse, completed in 1903, stands above the ocean on a rocky headland. Its elevated location provides sweeping views across the coastline and remains an important landmark of the Central Coast.

The surrounding coast includes Cabbage Tree Harbour, Mariners Cove, Soldiers Beach, Hargraves Beach and Pelican Beach, where rocky platforms alternate with extensive sandy beaches.

South of Norah Head, Wyrrabalong National Park protects significant coastal vegetation, including native woodland, littoral rainforest, dune systems and coastal habitats.

The park extends through the Magenta coastal landscape, where the narrow barrier separating Tuggerah Lake from the Pacific Ocean illustrates the effects of coastal erosion and sediment deposition.

Farther south, Magenta Beach and North Entrance Beach form a long sandy shoreline leading towards the entrance of Tuggerah Lake.

The map also includes The Entrance North, Karagi Point and the Tuggerah Lake entrance channel, where tidal water passes between the lake and the Pacific Ocean.

The wider district contains important coastal wetlands, low-lying residential areas and environmentally sensitive waterways, making detailed mapping especially valuable for flood assessment, coastal management and infrastructure planning.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides detailed contours, waterways, roads, tracks and geographical reference information for understanding this varied coastal landscape.

Whether you're exploring Norah Head, studying the Tuggerah Lakes estuary, investigating coastal property or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Toukley topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

Professionally printed by Mapworld and available in paper, waterproof DuPont™ Tyvek® and laminated finishes.

The Toukley region contains exposed ocean beaches, rocky headlands, shallow coastal lakes, tidal channels and low-lying land subject to rapidly changing conditions. Strong surf, rip currents, slippery rock platforms and coastal storms can create significant hazards. Heavy rainfall may cause flooding around Tuggerah and Budgewoi lakes, while changing entrance conditions can affect water levels and drainage. Some national park areas and sensitive coastal habitats have restricted access. Always check current weather, flood warnings and coastal conditions, respect private property and carry appropriate navigation equipment. Topographic maps are not substitutes for nautical charts, cadastral surveys, official flood studies or coastal hazard assessments.
