Well, they managed to stop people from using the wind.... Who would have ever thought that the government would actually restrict the use of air??? Well, they did.

Now, Charles Sturt council, with the help of a small group of whinging biddies from WACRA are at it again... This time, Banning all PWC from accessing the beach for up to 200m through grange, westbeach and henly, and the rest of the metro beaches to follow if MP paul caica gets his way.

Charles sturt is looking to ban fun in general on our beaches.... If you think this is utter (r@p, then we would love to have your support in having this ban thrown out.

Please like the following facebook page: www.facebook.com/pages/Adelaide-responsible-PWC-users/175830465951188?ref=stream and comment there letting everyone know how its unfair that some beachgoers are restricted from using our waterways

If you are willing to sign the petition, please do so at www.gopetition.com%2Fpetitions%2Fthe-adelaide-jet-ski-community-says-no.html it would be very helpfull

If this precedent is allowed to continue, who knows whats next? No icecream on the beach??

Your kidding right....
The ban affects what is the current 4knot zone inside 200m, you know, the section of beach where they dont make noise, and will force more jetskiis into the areas you currently speak of (the areas that they can go as fast as they like near the beach)...
The people lobbying for this are the same people that lobbied to ban kites from the beaches.... The beach is for everyone.
The petition supports finning the dickheads driving dangerously that break the current laws, Under the current laws, (and anyone doing more than 4knots around surfers/swimmers not en-tow is breaking the law already) instead of preventing the ability to idle in and park near facilities like bins, cafes, toilets etc...
Bans wont stop those who unknowingly break the law from breaking it, and it wont stop those who break the law deliberateley from breaking it, it only stops those who do the right thing from collecting thier families safely from the beachfront.
To stop the idiots, the police need to enforce the law, but ban or no ban, lack of enforcement will still result in the same idiots causing the same problems, changes to the law will not assist with that!.

The alternative encourages littering, taking a dump on the beach, forces more craft into smaller areas further south resulting in dangerous congestion levels that WILL result in colissions with other water users as a result. It spurrs on caicas agenda to ban beaches from everyone participating in recreational or sporting activities he choses to dissaprove of.... It widens the cracks to encourage further bans for kite surfers, surfer, wakeboarders, skiiers, kyakers.... Everyone.... The beach is not just for the members of wacra, and laws need to be decided upon intelligent reasoning, not the lobbying of a small group of biddies who dislike fun

One thing your right about, is the dickheads definiteley need policing.....
But your problem, is your stance is discriminative.... If your against noise and polution do you also want to ban cars, boats, motorbikes, electricity, loud laughter, power tools? Im guessing probably not, you're just specifically against jetskiis only for watever reason......Why do you feel you have more right to the beach than a RESPONSIBLE pwc user (because were in agreement the dickheads should be fined)?
Like I said, the ban at charles sturt will not affect moanna in the way you hope it will, it will push more riders down there, giving you the opposite outcome of what your after.... If caica gets his long term goal, the beaches south of brighton will be flooded with jetski riders because they have nowhere else to go.... This will make things down right dangerous with a huge increase of the number of motor vehicles in a smaller area..... If you want to limit the number of jetskiis down there, you should signt the petition to stop charles sturt from trying to make it happen

Well Im pretty sure councils only control the beaches as in the sandy bit. Council by laws do not cover the water that is covered by stated by-laws and therefore patrolled by DPTI or police.
So if its a state law tell the council general inspector and or the DPTI officer to take a hike either one have no authority to hold you.

As for the Jet skis I think they all should be crushed with or without the operator if caught doing over the 4 knot limit

+1 for what Russ said, although he too is on the wrong forum

small tip...

ROCKETS, if you want sympathy of non-petrol-head ocean users, change your name to not reflect RJB's incident, and lose the cheesy selfie of you on your stink machine.


i feel your pain, but sorry mate, you don't have my vote.
