Coastal Issues SurveySurf Life Saving Australia have released a survey designed to identify large-scale, regional coastal issues as lifeguards and surf lifesavers experience them. It is not club or council-based, and the data will be unidentifiable. The survey does not contain any operational questions, rather focusing on understanding coastal problems. The information will be used to identify the current and future issues that lifeguards and surf lifesavers observe and will feed into a strategic plan to address these. The survey contains 10 questions and should take about 5 minutes. Please click here to complete the survey. Latest Circulars Circular Reminders
