Exclusive use aquatic licence for Windsurfer competition at Ballina

SW
Roads and Maritime Services has granted an exclusive use aquatic licence for the safe staging of a windsurfer competition so boaters should keep clear off an area off Sharpes Beach this long weekend.

The exclusive use area applies to the Coral Sea next to the southern end of Sharpes Beach at Ballina from 11am to 5:00pm from Saturday October 5th to Monday October 7th.

The competition area will be about 100 metres north of the Flatrock camp-ground beach access point.

If there is bad weather a separate course may be set up 400 metres south within the northern corner of Angels Beach.

The area will be marked by buoys, signs and patrolled by boating safety officers.

For safety reasons vessels not involved in the event should not enter the exclusive use area unless authorised by a boating safety officer or a police officer.
