Bay Beach loses Blue Flag status

The City will be withdrawing the Blue Flag status granted to Big Bay Beach today, amid various water management issues.

Concerns about Big Bay Beach first arose last year when a foul-smelling layer of green sludge coating the surface of the beach and a continual dampness of the beach sand were reported.

These observations were made in the area directly opposite the Big Bay Surf Lifesaving Clubhouse.

An increase of such reports to City offices intensified following Big Bay’s award of Blue Flag status in October 2009.
