Bayside beaches are now closed to the public to help mitigate the risk and spread of COVID-19.
This weekend, Council officers will be deployed along the foreshore to inform residents of the beach closure and make sure people are not congregating on the beach.
Victoria Police are also conducting patrols along the Victorian coastline.
Beach walking paths can still be accessed but people must adhere to social distancing guidelines.
Normal dog walking restrictions apply however people should stick to the walking path where possible and act responsibly.
The health of our community is our top priority.
The message from State and Federal Governments is very clear… if you can stay home, you must stay home. If it is an essential outing, please follow social distancing guidelines.
Bayside is a connected and responsible community and we urge our residents to do the right thing.
