The investigation into Beach water quality in our area is finally progressing! It started with a community consultation session, ran by the independent consultant, 02 Marine with email submissions being accepted from our community until 30 September (
While at our beach if you notice the discoloured discharge, swim at our beach and notices the poor visibility, tastes or smells the foul water you are encouraged to submit a report to Environment WAtch who have an Online Pollution Reporting Form or you can call the Hotline weekdays between 8.30am and 4.30pm on 1300 784 782. Outside of these hours you will be directed to an automated message with an option to leave a message or if you are reporting a major pollution event, elect to speak to an operator. Environment Watch also have a Facebook page which you can follow for information—https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61558988558313
Thanks go to Caitlin Collins MLA for her advocacy on behalf of our community.
