Redlands City Council is undertaking a process to designate a portion of the western beach of Wellington Point Reserve as a Bathing Area, marked by bathing flags, southeast of the region of the sandbar to King Island (see diagram), in close proximity to an extremely popular wind and kite surfing destination. Although 100meters is indicative only in the attached diagram, the final size and location of the Bathing Area is to be decided later in 2019 by public consultation. This clearly will impact Windsurfers and Kiters and other watercraft users at this location.

In anticipation of the potential for increased risk, injuries from collisions and other potential mishaps to all Users of this location, representatives from the Kiter and Windsurfer communities have met to develop a set of guidelines to help educate our groups and promote safety in this location, in an effort to work with Council to help keep Wellington Point a safe place for all users of this unique area. The diagram showing suggested activity zones and our proposed guidelines are appended.
