Our beautiful Hawkesbury River is a favourite spot for locals and visitors alike , drawing in boating enthusiasts , families on picnics , campers , walkers , bird watchers , and fishing fans . While it ’ s a fantastic place to relax and enjoy nature , we want to remind everyone that swimming in our rivers can come with hidden dangers . Staying informed is key to having a safe and enjoyable experience this summer !
According to Royal Life Saving the 2023 / 2024 National Drowning Report
|
found a 16 % increase in death drownings with rivers / creeks being identified as a top 3 location . There were 323 deaths from drownings and of those 83 were born overseas .
Council is committed to river and water safety in the Hawkesbury . As part of this commitment , we are continuing our multi-lingual safety campaign aimed at ensuring a safe and enjoyable summer for both visitors and locals along the Hawkesbury River .
With the summer season approaching , this initiative highlights our commitment to promoting water safety and creating a secure environment for all who come to experience the beauty of the river . The campaign features informative signage , educational materials , and it is designed to raise awareness and provide essential safety information in multiple languages .
|
Council continues to install river safety signs that were developed in consultation with Royal Life Saving NSW using best practise design , and internationally recognised safety symbols . The latest sign was installed at Howe Park in Windsor . The signs are created in the five most common non- English languages for visitors to the Hawkesbury – Hindi , Punjabi , Simplified Chinese , Arabic and Filipino – which can be accessed by a QR Code via a smartphone .
This campaign is about raising awareness to save lives so that we can all have a wonderful summer without seeing tragedies like we have seen in the past . The messages urge visitors to consider other fun activities around the river instead of swimming in local waterways . These include walking , camping , boating , fishing and picnics . Locals are also urged
|
to be river safe and save swimming for the pool over summer .
Local rivers and other waterways can be dangerous places to swim , even for experienced swimmers , with submerged objects , unpredictable and fast currents , and the potential for poor water quality following heavy rains . Unfortunately , drownings have occurred in local waterways over the years .
Council is also developing a Public Water Safety Strategy to provide clear guidance for the effective short and long-term management of public safety around waterways throughout the Hawkesbury .
