Contractor Forest Road Maintenance has made considerable progress on the removal of woody debris that again covered city beaches in the wake of the storm in late June.
The wood build-up along the beach front was described by some people as among the worst they had seen, particularly in the area from The Cut to past Midway.
The clean-up crew has concentrated on the section between The Cut and past Grey St towards Roberts Rd, and a 100m-plus either side of the Midway Surf Lifesaving Club.
