25.01.2022 BOATING SAFETY ALERT Boaters in the Port Kembla area have been asked to double-check that their VHF radios are switched off as a matter of urgency. A boat’s rad...io has been left on since early yesterday evening, meaning it has been transmitting non-stop for about the past 20 hours, which is interfering with VHF marine radio transmissions along the Illawarra coastline from Port Kembla to Ulladulla. This is a public safety issue for boaters on these waters as the interference may mean radio operators at the Marine Rescue Port Kembla Hill 60 radio base cannot hear distress calls or other contacts from other boaters. This is particularly problematic if the boat with the radio switched on is sitting between the radio base and another boat in trouble. Boaters are urged to check their radios as soon as possible.

21.01.2022 Police are appealing for information after fishing equipment and personal belongings were found unattended at Shellharbour North Beach. About 6:30am today (Frid...ay 11th December 2020), a chair, a fishing rod with the line still in the water, a tackle box, bait, thongs and sunglasses were located on the beach. Officers attached to Lake Illawarra Police District, along with Police Marine Area Command, Shellharbour City Council Lifeguards, Surf Lifesaving NSW, SES and Marine Rescue NSW, conducted an extensive search via air, land and water for the owner of the goods. Police have received no reports of a missing person and are appealing to the public for further information. If anyone recognises the gear or knows of someone who may not have returned home from fishing on Shellharbour North Beach overnight or early this morning, please contact Lake Illawarra Police on 02 4232 5599.
