flag NSW beaches face rising drownings due to lack of lifeguard funding, limiting patrols to high-risk areas.

flag Beach safety in NSW is worsening due to a funding gap that prevents expansion of paid lifeguard services, despite rising drownings and beach use. flag Most fatalities occur outside patrolled areas or hours, especially on regional beaches. flag While volunteers help on weekends, paid lifeguards handle 77% of patrols but cannot extend coverage without council funding. flag A recent incident near Wollongong showed lifeguards couldn’t be stationed at a high-risk area due to budget limits. flag Experts say targeted government support is essential to expand lifeguard presence and reduce deaths.
