TRANNIES BEACH ACCESS: In the coming days, Trannies Beach will be a bit of a construction site as the Shire crew install a ramp to provide safe access to the beach. The ramp is a temporary solution until steps that can withstand the heavy swell can be designed and built for our conditions. We really appreciate how understanding and patient the community has been. Please take care around the construction site and observe signage and barricades.
