WATER QUALITY INFORMATION
This area is CLOSED to Primary Contact Recreation due to a high Blue green algae alert and increased bacteria levels.
Swimming, diving, bathing, novice Secondary Contact Recreation, and windsurfing are currently not permitted.
Blue-green algae in very large numbers cause deterioration in water quality and pose a threat to public health. As blue-green algae die they can release toxins into the water. These toxins can cause symptoms such as eye or skin irritations, sore throats or gastro-enteritis in humans. Dogs are very susceptible to the toxic algae when ingested. Refer to the ACT guidelines for recreational water quality for further health information.
Increased bacteria levels may cause adverse health reactions including intestinal illnesses, such as self-limiting gastroenteritis, which may often be of short duration, respiratory illness, ear infections and skin and eye problems.
Standing Bacteria Alert: Swimming should be avoided for several days after heavy rainfall as bacterial levels are strongly affected by such events.

Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
