All Central Coast beaches will remain closed this weekend due to concerns over water quality and floating debris following the recent severe weather.

All beaches and ocean baths will remain closed until Tuesday 30 March, while Central Coast Council conducts further water quality tests and inspections of local beaches.

Council is strongly advising all residents and visitors not to swim or make contact with our waterways as it may be detrimental to health.

Council will provide an update to the community early next week, once further water quality samples are analysed.
