00:00Good morning. My name is Marty Warren. I'm from Kid Tree and I've just cycled down here this morning just
00:07to have a look at my local beach, North Whirlpool Beach, and I'm just having a look at the construction
00:12site.
00:13So it's going to be like this all through the summer pretty much. It's going to be restricted access.
00:19Yeah, it's a bit disappointing that we were told that it was a winter thing and that summer it would
00:23be opening up the stairs. Yeah, it's not looking a bit slow at the moment.
00:30It's going to be quite different for this summer at North Whirlpool Beach.
00:34The guys doing patrols from this club and the professional guys will have to go around each other for different
00:40sites.
00:43The ecology of this beach is very different from what it used to be. We used to have a lot
00:47of sand.
00:47But as you can look at the footage, we've lost about 9 litres of the beach on the original wall,
00:55which is sad because it's not a big beach the rest of time.
00:59So now we haven't got as much sand. We have more petals than sand, which is very disappointing for us.
01:06I'm not sure what all the other local people think, but the members around here are a bit disappointed that
01:13the ecology has been changed.
01:17These concrete bleachers are kind of in the continental pool style. Plenty of room to sit though. Is that a...
01:25Exactly. That's what we've been told is going to go all the way around.
01:28And at one end there's going to be a ramp for disabled access on the beach, which is a perfect
01:35thing.
01:36I think we might have an inclusion on our beach, but it's...
01:41Hey, I'm not sure if this is the look the Bullogong wants.
01:44I know we're trying to follow Neely or maybe Bondi or something in Sydney.
01:49So that's maybe Northwood or the show beach.
01:54I don't know how the show beach...
01:55We might have to get more sand dumped on the beach to cover up all the rocks.
01:58I think that might be the answer.
02:00You can talk to council.
02:02Someone can talk to council and say, can they do something about that?
02:04Can we construct some of the sand from Sydney Boots?
02:08There's a lot of sand over there if you're going there at the moment.
02:10It's quite wide.
02:12Bring it around the corner.
02:13It's all been sucked around the corner.
02:15Yes.
02:17.
