Please contact Council on 1300 434 434 should you have any questions regarding the rock pool cleaning rosters.

We are currently experiencing issues with refilling of a number of our rockpools.  Refilling of the rockpools occurs through a combination of in-situ pool pumps, ocean tide levels and swell conditions, and a portable pool pump when possible. 

There has been limited swell recently and high tides are at the lower end of their cycle which extends the time taken for pools to refill.  Pool pumps are being run when possible however they can only run during limited windows around high tides and some are being impacted by weed matter in the ocean.
