St Kilda

A health warning sign to be erected on St Kilda Beach near Lawyers Head is not a result of pollution caused by the Tahuna wastewater treatment plant, the Dunedin City Council says.

Lifeguards are praising the behaviour of swimmers as the city's beaches prove popular on hot summer days.

A 1.3km-long wall buried behind Dunedin's St Kilda and Middle Beaches to manage coastal erosion, is a step closer.

Dunedin continues to face problems over the summer holidays with inadequately supervised youngsters at some of its beaches.

St Kilda resident Vicki Warrington is "not holding her breath" that plans to flush water pipes in her area will solve her dirty water problems in the long term.
