Sydney's Northern Beaches Council reopens beaches

Sydney's Northern Beaches Council has reopened all beaches apart from Dee Why following the clean-up of marble-sized ball-shaped debris. 

Council was notified of the debris on 14th January 2025 and found evidence of the balls, composed of unidentified substance, on nine beaches.

Council closed the affected beaches immediately. Clean up crews were organised to clean the beaches with debris samples having been sent for testing.

Dee Why is still being assessed, and the clean-up is continuing at this location.

Council encourages anyone who notices this kind of debris on any beaches in the Northern Beaches area to contact Northern Beaches Council on 1300 434 434.
