Glenelg Shire officers have put motorists on notice after complaints from the public during the busy Christmas-New Year period. <\/p>\n
Beachgoers raised concerns about the safety of people using the foreshore when more than 30 cars and four-wheel drives parked on the sand on one hot day alone. <\/p>\n
Bridgewater Bay is popular with families, particularly those with young children, because it offers a long expanse of beach and is patrolled by the Portland Surf Life Saving Club. <\/p>\n
A Glenelg Shire spokeswoman said the council was responsible for the management of the main beach area at Bridgewater Bay. <\/p>\n
The only vehicles permitted to drive on the beach in this area are the locally based surf life saving club and a vehicle towing a boat trailer while launching or removing a boat from the water, she said. <\/p>\n
It is definitely not for use by the general public to drive to a chosen position on the beach for the time they spend there. <\/p>\n
