COUNCIL NOTICE

Dinghy Sale at Rowland Reserve - Sat. 20 February from 8am

Interested in buying a dinghy or kayak? These and other watercraft will be available for sale at Rowland Reserve on Saturday 20 February from 8am.

The dinghies and kayaks which have been removed from the foreshore by Pittwater Council, and are unclaimed, can be viewed from 8am, with bids closing at 10am, at Rowland Reserve, Bayview.

Pittwater Council’s General Manager, Mark Ferguson said Council works hard to trace the owners of these boats.

“If no-one claims the watercraft we retain them for a further month before offering them for sale,” he said.

Mr Ferguson said that under the NSW Impounding Act, the Council can offer impounded watercraft for sale if they are unclaimed.

“Members of the community wishing to keep a small boat or kayak near the water have a number of storage options.

“For a small annual fee there are many storage facilities located at Avalon, Bayview, Church Point, Newport and Palm Beach,” he added.

Details of dinghy storage locations can be found at www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/dinghy_storage

The watercraft sale will be held on Saturday 20 February from 8am until 10am by which time sealed bids (in even dollar amounts) must be placed in the specially marked box. Bids will be announced from 10.30am and the highest offer will be accepted.

Bidders are reminded that they need to be onsite when the bids are announced, and successful bidders need to remove the watercraft from the site by 2pm that day.

Payment is required on the day and can be made by way of cash, credit card/ eftpos, please note that Visa and Mastercard attract a 1% surcharge.

For enquiries about the dinghy sale contact Trudi Seymour on 9970 1222.

Clean Up Australia Day is here again – Sunday, March 6, 2016

Scotland Island is registered to participate once again!

If you would like to help out, either by grabbing a bag and filling it, or helping to supervise activities, please email cassgye@spin.net.au to put your name on the list.

Come down to your nearest Wharf to collect a bag between the hours of 9am and 12.00pm.

About the event - Clean Up Australia Day

Thank You

Thank you to the wonderful person who discovered my handbag in the car park on Monday 1st Feb at approx. 7am.

I drove off leaving it on the ground and panic ensued when I discovered it missing!!

On my speedy return to the car park found it in a safe place awaiting my retrieval.

Thank you
Sally Wandless
