The message is clear, you can only visit Central Coast beaches for the purpose of exercise, including over the Easter and school holiday periods, as strict physical distancing guidelines are enforced.
Central Coast Council and Parliamentary Secretary for the Central Coast, Adam Crouch, have urged residents to carry out their recreation sensibly, and within the guidelines, with group gatherings on our beaches, including family get-togethers, banned in the face of the coronavirus pandemic.
Activities on all Central Coast beaches are restricted to walking, running and surfing.
Crouch said changes to daily life were necessary.
“Last week the surf lifesaving season came to an abrupt end as a necessary way to stop COVID-19 from spreading, and it is now necessary for beach activities to be limited to exercise only,” he said.
“We all must play a part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by following these new restrictions and social distancing rules.
“Everyone on the Central Coast needs to be aware that NSW Police will be enforcing these restrictions with on-the-spot fines, particularly during the school holidays.”
Central Coast Council Mayor, Lisa Matthews, said we all need to obey the rules about exercise, physical distancing and the number of people in groups, whether that is in parks and reserves, or on our beaches and bush tracks.
