Caution when visiting our parks and reserves during periods of high winds

21 Jul 2023, 3:56 PM

WDC advises all residents and visitors to exercise caution when visiting our parks and reserves during periods of high winds. Safety is our utmost priority, and we want to ensure that everyone enjoys these spaces responsibly.

Due to the strong winds, there is a possibility of tree limb breakages and trees being blown over. To prevent any potential hazards, we kindly request all visitors to keep a vigilant eye out for any signs of danger and avoid areas that may be affected by the wind.

While we understand the desire to enjoy the outdoors, we encourage everyone to prioritise their safety and wellbeing. Avoiding risky areas during these weather conditions will help prevent accidents and ensure a safe environment for all.

We have already arranged for a suitable contractor, but unfortunately, due to the unsafe weather conditions, they won't be able to address the issue until next week.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
