this is a policy not a law

In my opinion, this is a policy just like the Hillside Policy.
It is a policy which means one can refer to it but cannot use it as law. It has to be ratified. The Hillside Policy for example has been sitting there for years, I believe just like this beach policy.
I do believe I have seen parts of this beach policy and some parts of it has to be ammended. I remember there is something about Jet Skis that was not quite right.
But, the government is not seeking to ammend and make any changes to both these polcies and make them efficient either. They just sit there and when it is convenient for them to refer to them they do, and when it is not, well it is not because they are not law. And these polices do not have a fine attched to if anyone breaks the rule, I think.
These policies have to be reviewed, ammended and a stiff fine attched for violations.
