Keep Australia Beautiful Awards
About this page
At the 2010 Keep Australia Beautiful - Clean Beach Awards the Ocean Grove Main Beach was announced as the winner of the Friendly Beach Award for the construction, during the rebuilding of the Seawall and promenade, of a ramp to the beach to meet the needs of people of all abilities. The ramp enables wheelchair access to the beach and in conjunction with the Disabled Surfers Association, the provision of amphibious wheelchairs.
The award follows on from the beach being the 2008 State Winner of the Zero Waste Award. That award recognised the work undertaken by Barwon Coast and the community in litter prevention, waste management and resource recovery thru dual bin systems at the visitor car parks and beach bins on the foreshore. The provision of biodegradable bags for "Dog Litter" was also commended.
