Call for stricter jet ski law enforcement FORUM

patrolled and flagged areas. This is for good reason, popular ocean swimming buoys are 250 metres from the shore.

On Australia Day, this rule was breached countless times. One swimmer I spoke to was very shaken up as she was nearly collected by a jet ski while competing her morning swim.

I have written to Gosford and Terrigal state members to instruct Maritime to install exclusion buoys 500 metres from the patrolled section of beaches at Ocean Beach and Umina Beach.

I call on Maritime and Police to increase the amount of patrols around the zones to catch more offenders and issue fines.

These safety laws need to be more rigorously enforced before a tragedy occurs.
