Hello Friends,
Only half a metre at 11 seconds from the SSE out at sea on what is otherwise a beautiful Autumn morning along the beaches. There’s no surf, so you’ll have to come up with alternative exercise options.
The forecast models are all telling us that the flatness will likely persist through the weekend for Sydney.
Here’s hoping the predictions turn out to have been unduly pessimistic. In the meantime, stay safe everyone!
By Order of the Federal Government, our beaches are open for exercise only – surfing, swimming, running and walking. Beaches will be closed due to unsafe conditions and or mass gatherings. All pools are closed at this time.
Please see some commonly asked questions about the beach closures.
If people are sunbaking or gathering on the beach, they will be asked to move along by our lifeguards, rangers or the police.
Due to the risk of Coronavirus and acting on direction of NSW and Federal Governments, Council has closed many public areas. View the latest updates on the evolving situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19).
In addition, it is against the law to gather with more than two people in public, except:
- for members of the same household
- where the gathering is essential for work or education
- If you go out, stay 1.5 metres away from other people at all times.
The rules are also now enforceable and Police are issuing fines of $1000 for individuals and $5000 for companies. These are difficult circumstances and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
