DEAR News Of The Area,
I REFER to the letter on the ‘The lasting contribution of our lifeguards’ (NOTA, Friday 27 February 2026) and acknowledge Merrin Van Dartel’s positive comments in the NOTA of 6 March 2026.
What an excellent article Greg Hackfath has provided on lifeguard services on the Coffs Coast.
The article is well written, factual and relevant.
I wish to thank Greg Hackfath and the professional ocean lifeguard service team for their 40 years of service to the Coffs community and hope that the City of Coffs Harbour council considers their tireless, valuable and voluntary input when they decide on the future of life guard services for our community.
Regards,
M ALEXANDER,
North Boambee Valley.
