Coogee Beach Cleanup: 20 Tonnes of Rubbish Left After Backpacker Christmas Party
Randwick Council cleared over 20 tonnes of rubbish after thousands of backpackers moved from Bronte to Coogee Beach for Christmas, with no arrests reported, police said.
- On December 25, Coogee Beach in Sydney was unexpectedly heaving after the Bronte event was cancelled, with thousands of backpackers creating a pop-up Christmas Day party.
- Waverley Council's campaign, including signage and hostel messaging, aimed to deter crowds, leaving Bronte Beach largely deserted and shifting visitors to neighbouring beaches this year.
- Randwick City Council crews began Thursday evening clean-up, working overnight with rakes, sweepers and hoses to remove more than 20 tonnes of rubbish in four truck-loads.
- Waverley this year spent more than $250,000 on increased police, security, cleaning, buses and toilets, while Randwick reinforced alcohol-free rules and NSW Police reported no arrests.
- Residents say last year's mess prompted crackdowns as Bronte Beach residents long complained about noise, antisocial behaviour and litter, while sanitation remained an issue with Coogee attendees facing long toilet lines.
