Water quality monitoring
In the past few months, concerning levels of microbial contamination have been detected in the Brisbane River, particularly after heavy rain. Brisbane City Council regularly monitors the level of contamination at several sites, including opposite the West End boat ramp. The most recent monitoring occurred on 18 March.
For results of recent monitoring, go to: https://www.brisbane.qld.gov.au/clean-and-green/natural-environment-and-water/water/water-quality-monitoring .
SBSC members, LTS participants and volunteers are all encouraged to inform themselves of risk levels and make decisions accordingly. The Club respects your right not to participate in an event should you be concerned about water safety.
EVEN WHEN MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION LEVELS ARE NOT ABNORMALLY ELEVATED, SAILORS SHOULD NOT ENTER THE BRISBANE RIVER WITH OPEN WOUNDS OF ANY SORT.
