Swimming alert at Fitzroy Beach
Please don’t swim or gather food at Fitzroy Beach.
Testing of the water at the beach by Taranaki Regional Council on 9 December returned elevated levels of the potentially-harmful bacteria.
We’re sorry this will inconvenience people hoping to spend the weekend at Fitzroy Beach.
