Caution - Rainfall affects recreational water quality

 

Swimming areas have been affected from stormwater run-off due to the recent heavy rainfall across the Gold Coast.

Residents and visitors are reminded that rainfall often washes through our streets, gardens and farms, before it is flushed into our ocean and rivers via the storm water system. Stormwater run-off can increase pathogen levels in the water and make it unsafe for swimming. Popular swimming locations, such as swimming enclosures, rivers, lakes, creeks and beaches – particularly those near stormwater outlets – have been affected.

As a precaution always avoid swimming:

  • one (1) day after heavy rainfall at open beaches
  • three (3) days after heavy rainfall at rivers, lakes and estuarine locations
    • in water that looks discoloured, murky, or smells unpleasant
    • near stormwater drains.

The City will continue to monitor sites across the Gold Coast.

Carparks closed at The Spit


City of Gold Coast has this afternoon shut Council carparks at the Spit. 

Chair of the Local Disaster Management Group and Mayor, Tom Tate said he was left with no choice after people continued to gather in groups there today. 

"People are just not listening so we have taken this measure to discourage visitors," he said. 

"The message is clear. We can no longer be gathering in groups larger than two and we should only be out for essential activities and exercise. 

"A lazy day at the Spit should not be on the cards right now.

"Staying home is the best way to keep us all safe."

How is an Inactive Lifestyle causing your Health Problems?

Lack of exercise or any type of physical activity not only causes high blood pressure, cardiac arrests and diabetes but also leads to elevated levels of stress, anxiety, insomnia and depression and, in some cases, even early death. It also leads to loss of focus, lack of attention and concentration along with decreased levels of energy and feeling of lethargy. Incidentally, women and older adults are more prone to lead an inactive lifestyle compared to men.
