BEACH CLEANUP
After a successful first beach cleanup led by Boardwalk Mall and Boardwalk Hotel last year, the hospitality destinations have committed to conducting these on a regular basis and have called on the public to join in.
The November beach cleanup event in the area around Hobie Beach was a great success, drawing more than 70 participants. More than 12 wheelie bins of trash were filled in an hour.
Volunteers are invited to join an eco-crusade once again to help Hobie Beach retain its Blue Flag status, which is crucial for tourism.
The cleanup takes place tomorrow from 8.30am to 9.30am.
Volunteers should wear sunscreen and comfortable clothing.
The meeting point is at Shark Rock Pier.
