Keep Our Bay Clean

Reducing the use of single-use plastics is essential to preserving the environmental integrity of our beaches. Plastics often find their way into marine ecosystems, posing serious threats to wildlife and polluting our coastlines. By choosing to bring reusable products, we can significantly reduce waste and ensure cleaner, healthier beaches. 

Waste management is one of the biggest challenges we face over the summer.

Our dedicated waste team maintains the cleanliness of our foreshore by conducting regular patrols along the 8 kilometre foreshore and collecting litter to ensure a clean and secure environment for recreational use. 

Our beachside bins are emptied daily over summer and emptied in the morning and afternoon on weekends and public holidays.

Our beachside facilities are cleaned twice daily, with additional cleaning sessions added during the peak summer period on weekends and public holidays.

Waste education is an integral part of the Summer Foreshore Program, but the most effective waste management starts with everyone. We encourage all foreshore visitors to "Leave Only Footprints" on our beaches, and to responsibly dispose of rubbish in the bins provided or take it with them. Your cooperation plays a crucial role in preserving the beauty of our foreshore.
 

Smoking is strictly prohibited on our beaches and foreshore. This includes cigarettes, e-cigarettes, vaping, and shisha. Violations will result in fines.

Cigarette butts release harmful toxins into our environment, so choosing not to smoke benefits everyone, including our marine life.

Thank you for not smoking.

Our Beach Rake team work around tidal flows to clean washed up debris to ensure the beach is clean to visit every day over summer. If you see our early morning Beach Rake team, be sure to wave!
