Sand is available from different set areas along the beach foreshore - see below.
Sand may not be removed from the city's beaches, dunes or from any other land controlled by the Council. However it has been in practice for many years to allow limited removal of windblown sand from car parks and roadways in the vicintiy of the beaches and dune areas. Where a major build up of sand occurs on car parks or roadways from several days of persistent strong wind, resulting in a depletion of the dune sand resource, the bulk of the sand should be returned to the dune for restoration by the Council. Excess sand may be available for managed removal by the public. Removal will be supervised on site by Parks staff.
