Recent water sampling tests have shown elevated levels of bacteria at West Beach West (west of the playground).

Council officers are currently investigating the cause. This means that swimming is not recommended at this section of the beach until further notice and signage is now in place at West Beach West.

We will continue to conduct water sampling of the beach, and once deemed safe the signage will be removed.

During summer, water sampling is done every fortnight. We will provide an update when this improves and, as always please pay attention to beach signage at your local beach.
