flag Residents demand stricter jet-ski rules after frequent near-shore violations despite safety zones.

flag Residents of Brighton-le-Sands, NSW, are urging stricter enforcement against jet-ski operators due to safety concerns near shore, especially during summer. flag Despite rules requiring jet-skis to stay 60 meters from shore in most areas and 200 meters in restricted zones like Botany Bay, operators are frequently observed too close. flag Although overall jet-ski accident rates are declining, they remain over-represented in serious injury incidents, often from collisions. flag Transport for NSW is reviewing licensing changes, including higher age limits and mandatory practical training. flag Bayside Council supports a state-led crackdown using CCTV and encourages residents to report unsafe behavior to Maritime NSW, which enforces water safety regulations.
