1. Please place all litter in bins or take it home with you. This includes cigarette butts, drink containers, hooks and fishing line. Litter is unsightly, dangerous and may injure beach users or wildlife. Street litter can reach the beach via stormwater drains.
2. Please use and stay on designated accessways and avoid walking across vegetated dunes. This minimises damage to plants and disturbance to animal habitat. Stable dunes are more resistant to erosion. Native vegetation is protected.
3. Please do not light fires on beaches or in dunes as they are illegal in NSW. Fires produce embers that remain very hot, even when buried in the sand, which can cause serious burns to unsuspecting people or animals, and can lead to bush fire. Irreplaceable habitat is lost when firewood is gathered from beach areas.
4. All Bega Shire beaches are vehicle free, to protect people and habitat.
5. Dogs must be on leashes at all times unless the beach is signposted as a "leash free area". Dogs are banned from some beaches and coast walk sections for health reasons and/or to protect wildlife habitat, so please check with the council. No dogs are allowed on National Park beaches. Always remove animal waste, out of consideration for other beach users.
6. Properties adjacent to beach reserves should be carefully maintained to prevent garden plants escaping into the dunes. Dumping of garden refuse is prohibited. This helps stop weeds growing on the dunes at the expense of native plants and avoids costly weed controls.
Beaches and their dunes are among our most important natural assets.
Please ensure they are cared for properly.

Well done, council
I see a lot of bad feedback about our Eurobodalla Shire Council.
I rang Moruya today about a concern in Narooma.
They transferred me to the workshop in Narooma.
Someone was out to investigate in a couple of hours.
I would like to say a huge thank you to the council for this.

Panning for gold
The Moruya Red Door Theatre company recently staged the play, Peter Pan – The Eurobodalla Chapter.
Written and directed by Narooma resident Linda Heald, the newly formed company put on four plays in two days in Moruya.
The play was incredibly well supported by the community, with many expressing an interest to act or work backstage next time.
Thank you to our wonderful cast, crew and sponsors.
Our third production is planned, so if you have a passion for acting, backstage, lighting, sound, production or theatre sports, look at our Facebook page for more information.
Peter Pan had three actors making their stage debut, so if you have the desire we may have the part.

Good job, Narooma police
Shout out to the amazing Narooma Police department.
You guys are doing a great job with your random breath tests keeping us all safe.
I have been breath tested twice in the past couple of days - the first time in the past 15 years.
Thank you and keep up the great work.
