Marrinawi Cove, at Barangaroo, is the latest urban area opened up for swimming west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but water quality experts say the area needs to be monitored carefully.
abc.net.au/news/marrinawi-cove-barangaroo-swimming-spot-opens-to-public/101836258The state government says it's exploring options for greater public access to swimming in Sydney Harbour, after opening a new area of Barangaroo Reserve to people wanting to have a splash.
Infrastructure, Cities and Active Transport minister Rob Stokes said the government was investigating more options for swimming at Barangaroo."Our city stopped building ocean and harbour pools more than half a century ago — it's past time to provide more great, safe public places to swim," he said. "We'll continue to explore more ways to increase public access to the harbour for swimming and water sports across urban renewal sites including Barangaroo, Blackwattle Bay and Bays West."
"The state government has been testing the water for quite a while before they installed the shark net. It is Sydney Harbour so you're always going to get residue," she said.
