Dear Members,

URGENT BOATING UPDATE

The NSW Government provided an update last night limiting boating movement in the Northern Zone to only the waters of Pittwater. 

(Updated 8pm on 30 December 2020). 

Broken Bay Water Police have advised RPAYC this morning that with the revised information that there should be no boating movement from Pittwater outside of a line between Barrenjoey Head and West Head. 

Water Police will be asking vessels from the Northern Zone that are currently outside of Pittwater to return. We understand that they will be  visiting various locations such as America Bay and Refuge Bay during the day and requesting boats to leave.

The update provided by NSW Government last night is as follows: –
