Recreational fishing infrastructure
To improve visual amenity, hygiene and functionality Council obtained funding from the NSW Department of Primary Industry to upgrade the fish cleaning table located at Parsley Bay. The original concrete table was replaced with a stainless steel table and moved closer to the water's edge. This will allow easier cleaning, prevent the accumulation of waste from seabirds congregating near the table and provide more open space along the foreshore.
TAngler bins have also been installed at Parsley Bay, Berowra Waters and Wisemans Ferry to collect unwanted recreational fishing line as part of OceanWatch Australia’s TAngler bin project. This project aims to reduce the irresponsible disposal of fishing line in key fishing areas. Fishing line placed in the TAngler bins is collected by Council and sent to OceanWatch Australia for recycling, preventing injury to wildlife, unsightly litter and hazards to boats and other watercraft.
