Have a say in where you can kite at Safety Bay
Safety Bay Kiters
11:00 Saturday 10th Jan.
Where - at the Kitejam Village. ie the grassy area adjacent to the road directly opposite 'the pond'
With huge numbers Kiteboarding and Windsurfing in the Pond, the council are convening meetings to discuss with users the best way to manage the area.
With 2 meetings down a new set of guidelines/rules for kiting and windsurfing in Safety Bay are well into the planning stages. WAKSA needs your feedback to existing proposals; as well as direct input for your ideas to be included; to what will soon be a finalised set of proposals for the DPI - Marine Safety to implement.
If you want a say in how things are to run at your 'local' in the future then NOW is the time. WAKSA will be presenting a full rundown of what has presented and proposed thus far. It is up to you guys as a local user group to guide the path forward from here. Options are narrowing as each party involved puts forward their considered concerns. A strong and reliable local kite voice is required. It was difficult to pull everything together for a meeting over the festive season but we have had only a few personal replies to out earlier calls. If you want your say it's rapidly becoming a matter of now or never.
So take note pls :- There will be a meeting of all Safety Bay/ Rockingham kiters at 11:00 am at the Kitejam Village (ie roadside opposite the pond).
You do NOT have to be a WAKSA member to be involved. Restrictions will apply to all, so all local or regular users of the Safety Bay &/or Shoalwater kite beaches are welcome to attend.
