Currumbin Rockpools now open

 

Water quality testing has revealed that water quality at the Currumbin Rock Pools has returned within acceptable levels and warning signage has today been removed.

 

It is recommended that users continue to exercise caution when swimming, especially after rainfall.  Stormwater runoff can increase bacterial levels in the water and make it unsafe for swimming.

 

As a precaution, the City recommends to avoid swimming during and up to three (3) days after rainfall at the Currumbin Rock Pools.

Is your trip to the Waste and Recycling Centre essential?

Gold Coast residents are being asked to refrain from visiting the City’s Waste and Recycling Centres (WRC’s) unless it’s absolutely essential.

Mayor Tom Tate said social distancing and extra safety measures had been put in place at all WRC’s in response to the Covid-19 crisis, but a number of issues had emerged.

“There are now increasingly long wait times due to only every second parking bay being available and sadly, we’re seeing an increase in aggression against staff,” he said.

“So we’re asking the community to save their trip to the WRC until this crisis is over.

“The Federal Government has asked all of us to stay home, restrict our travel and only go out when it’s absolutely necessary.

“If you’re at home doing a house or garden clean up - that’s great, but please, hold off on going to a WRC.

“For the safety of you, your family and those around you please follow community advice, respect social distancing measures in place and stay home where possible.”

New conditions for Waste & Recycling Centres due to Covid19

New restrictions will be enforced at all City of Gold Coast Waste and Recycling Centres (WRCs) from this Saturday (11 April).

Mayor Tom Tate said the measures had been imposed as a result of major issues caused by the Covid19 crisis, in particular excessive customers and aggression towards WRC staff.

“Despite repeated requests by the Mayor, Premier and Prime Minister imploring residents to stay at home and only go out for essential services, our WRCs have been overwhelmed with customers.

“This is placing the health and safety of City staff and customers at elevated risk of Covid19,” he said.

“We will be introducing a number of measures in an effort to keep our staff and residents safe - and if these measures are not adhered to, we may have no choice but to close some of the centres.”

The following measures will come into effect from opening time on Saturday 11 April.

  1. Visitors to the Molendinar and Reedy Creek WRCs will be limited to commercial and small business customers between the hours of 7am - 9am daily. This is to minimise the impact of increased residential use on small businesses.  Any customer who enters the facilities during these times will pay associated fees and State Government Waste Disposal Levy charges.

       2.To minimise delays, residential green waste will only be accepted at WRCs with “green waste drop and go” which includes Coomera, Molendinar, Merrimac and Reedy Creek.

  1. To minimise congestion, vehicles will be limited to “odd and even” dates matching the first number of their vehicle registration number

          On Saturday 11 April (an odd number), vehicles with an odd first number on their registration will be permitted entry.  On Sunday 12 April (an even number), vehicles with an even first number on their registration will be permitted entry.            All vehicles with personalised plates will be treated as odd numbers.

  1. No e-waste is being accepted at any WRCs at this time.

Residential customers are strongly advised to restrict their visits to WRCs for essential waste services only. This includes:

  • Disposing of hazardous waste that may be no longer safe to store at home including: car tyres, car batteries, paint, pool chemicals, bleach, gas bottles and herbicides.
  • Disposal of waste that could create a health concern e.g. putrescible household waste.

        Eligible residents are encouraged to make use of the City’s free on demand bulky kerbside collection service and/or consider taking up our green waste bin service to avoid delays at a WRC.

Two beaches reopened today

Mayor Tom Tate said Surfers Paradise and Coolangatta beaches would reopen as of noon today.

“The Spit beach, along with all beach front car parks, will continue to remain closed until further notice,” he said.

“Red and yellow flags will remain down across all beaches, however our lifeguards will continue to conduct general surveillance.”

Mayor Tate said according to lifeguard reports, behaviour on beaches had been good with the majority of people abiding by social distancing measures.

“Gold Coasters are really showing they can do the right thing in an effort to overcome this virus. I encourage people to continue to exercise in their own neighbourhoods as much as possible,” he said.

 

The Spit is closed from Lifeguard Tower 42 Adjacent to Seaworld north to the Rock Wall adjacent to Tower 46.

The Spit and car parks to reopen

The Spit will re-open and beachside car parks will be progressively opened, Mayor Tom Tate announced today.

“So I have taken the decision to open the Spit from midnight tonight, and we will progressively open the public car parks from today.”
