Rockingham Council has turned the popular Carlisle St beach windsurfer access point into a construction site to dredge the doomed Bent St boat ramp channel (again!).

A huge mound of rotting black sand has been dumped in front of the access path. All parking at the Carlisle St boat ramp has been closed off for the use of construction vehicles.

As usual, the Rockingham Council has shown impeccable timing, waiting until the windsurfing season is in full swing to close off the only safe access point in Safety Bay since the Pond was taken over by kite-boarders.
