Recreational water quality update- Northern swim sites

The severe weather from Cyclone Gabrielle resulted in a wide range of impacts that will persist for some time.

Water quality testing was not able to be resumed for northern locations after this extreme weather event due to road closures. 

Please refer to the long-term grade for this site as a guide on health risk. 

These grades are based on 5 years of data and should be used as a guide to general water quality.

If visiting swim sites, be aware of any changes in riverbanks, sediment, beach slope, bars, currents and amount of debris.
