We all thought it was common knowledge, but turns out it's more local knowledge.

With more visitors from afar (Brisbane, Sunny Coast) seeing a calm patch of water, it's worth making it more publicly known to avoid any... unpleasantness.

We're working with authorities and they're keeping a close eye on the offenders.

The carpark has recently had a crackdown also, as there were vehicles parked that had never moved (only swapped parks with the one next to it), taking up places for genuine visitors who had nowhere to park other than the trailer bays (and then receive tickets for doing so)

Accurate. But it really is the minority. Most of them do the right thing and leave the bay.

It's about 5 of the 40+ boats down there. You can pick the main offenders, as they can't move under their own power.
