Swimmers on the Tomaree Peninsula are warned that Shoal Bay Beach is currently closed. A storm-water drain was blocked, which caused a waste-water to spill into the ocean.
NSW Health and the Environmental Protection Authority were notified, later putting up no swim signs. Environmental officers are on site monitoring the situation.
Hunter Water has since stopped the backup of waste-water, meaning conditions should start to improve before too long.
As of yet, there is no information on when the beach will re-open.
