Snake Catcher North Narrabeen
North Narrabeen stretches across beach, lagoon, creek-side reserve and residential streets. The safest useful report identifies which environment is involved, the nearest named access and the snake’s last exact location.
First decide which North Narrabeen access you mean
Beach or Birdwood Park
Council’s North Narrabeen Beach page includes Birdwood Park and the lagoon. State the carpark, rockpool, dune edge, path or side of the lagoon. Warn others from a distance instead of forming a circle.
Middle Creek Reserve
Middle Creek Reserve connects to the Narrabeen Lagoon multi-use trail from Wakehurst Parkway. Give the trail entry, bridge or creek side; do not walk into vegetation to regain sight of a snake.
Lagoon-front property
Report the street number first, then the water-facing or street-facing side, gate, steps and any locked common access. If it crossed a fence, give the last confirmed point rather than a guess.
Garage, deck or garden
Stop moving equipment and note the precise gap or object used. Keep doors to occupied rooms closed when it is safe to do so, and keep the hiding place undisturbed.

Observation is useful; pursuit is not
From behind glass, a closed gate or another safe position, note the time, direction and the exact point where the snake disappeared. A zoomed photograph may assist only if it can be made without approaching. Do not treat colour, water or the suburb as a reliable identification.
On public land, attendance depends on the precise circumstances and access. Contact the relevant land manager as well as SITC when a sighting affects a busy beach, trail or reserve; calling SITC does not itself promise public-land attendance.
For a possible bite, switch to emergency response
Call 000 for a suspected human snakebite. Keep the person still, apply pressure immobilisation and follow the call-taker’s instructions. Do not wash the bite and do not drive the person unless directed. Healthdirect provides the current first-aid guidance.
For a pet, phone a veterinarian immediately, including when symptoms are not yet obvious. Pittwater Animal Hospital is at 1 Arnott Crescent, Warriewood and lists 02 9913 7979. SASH Northern Beaches in Balgowlah lists 24-hour emergency care on 02 9875 0000. Call ahead. No claim is made here about a clinic holding a specific antivenom.
H4 covers a broad 11 by 9 km area
North Narrabeen falls within grid H4 of the Sydney snake observation report. The 38 records apply to the whole approximately 11 by 9 km grid square, not North Narrabeen. The count is not a suburb danger score, live tracker or total of SITC call-outs.
The useful live neighbouring guides are Narrabeen and Warriewood. For regional service context, use the Northern Beaches hub; the main directory covers all service areas.
