The presence of large numbers of illegal campers in the Beachport Conservation Park has been brought to the attention of staff from Wattle Range Council.
According to a staff report, such campers are generating a large amount of waste which is either left there or brought into bins in the Beachport township.
“It should be noted that camping areas are quite limited in this conservation park with an area available on Lake George Road,” stated the staff report.
“A new sign has been installed at the end of Lake George Road.
“Council officers will discuss the illegal camping issue with the Department for Environment and Water as this is a significant part of the waste challenge.”
Meanwhile, National Parks rangers have issued dozens of on-the-spot fines to motorists who have been driving erratically about the region’s coastal parks over the festive season.
