- The pin is a guide to the named streets, not a surveyed line.
- Hooded plover signs are a place rule: dogs are prohibited within 20 metres of a breeding site and on a leash within a signed on-leash zone. Jetties are prohibited. This clock cannot see signs. The foreshore list is the 8 September 2015 resolution, still published in the council’s by-law compilation. The 16 July 2024 resolution did not revoke it.
The map pin is a guide at -35.3300, 138.4480. It is not the boundary between groynes, access tracks or signed zones.
