Regarding improving Evans Head beach access, our border collie was run over and killed last year at Airforce Beach.
The sad truth about this problem is a minority of people don’t obey the laws, and it’s only a matter of time before it will be a child.
There’s been a lot of erosion this year and when it’s high tide, there is limited beach to drive on, which brings the vehicles awfully close to the families enjoying the beach. Children do run in and out of the water all day, and I advise people to take your family down to the south side of the 4WD access.
To my wife and I, it was like losing our child, and I wouldn’t like anybody to go through that experience.
