Monitoring information for your local recreational sites

Site specific information, in particular longer-term ‘beach grades’, can help beach users understand the likely health risk and contributing risk factors when making decisions about when and where to go to the beach.

The following table provides website links to all the councils that currently undertake some form of recreational water quality monitoring. Note that some council web pages are only live during summer months when monitoring is taking place.

Please contact your local council if you require any further specific information about your local beaches.
