Dubbo's Sandy Beach has been listed on the internet as a homosexual "cruising" hot spot, prompting council to lock the toilets at the city's popular recreation site. The Daily Liberal contacted Dubbo City Council (DCC) about the gay website yesterday, which claims to "list and evaluate places all over the world where men meet other men for sex, fun and friendship", of which Dubbo's Sandy Beach is one. A spokesman for DCC said council had not received any complaints from the public regarding activity at the toilet block, but given the Daily Liberal's approach, has decided to lock the toilets at night. Sandy Beach is one of 16,000 "cruising" locations listed on the gay website, which also features safety tips including "what to do if you're arrested." "If you cruise in parks, bathrooms or other spaces open to public view, trust your instincts, be aware of your surroundings - and know your rights," the website says. "Having sex where others might see you and take offence can subject you to arrest, publicity and other serious consequences," it continued. Orana Local Area Command crime manager Detective Inspector Michael Willing said police have received "a lot of intelligence" about people frequenting Sandy Beach and have previously conducted covert surveillance of the area and will continue to do so. "If necessary, we will be following up reports by visiting those who frequent the area at their homes," Detective Inspector Willing said. Police are by no means suggesting homosexual activity is a crime says Detective Inspector Willing. "We are talking about inappropriate behaviour in inappropriate places, which includes all sexual activity in a public place," Detective Inspector Willing said. "Police have received some complaints and what concerns us is the fact children use nearby ovals for training purposes and the river track is frequently used by young and old alike," he said. If complaints from the public continue, police will have no hesitation in pro-actively taking down car plate registration numbers or visiting people who frequent the area at their homes, Detective Inspector Willing warned. No charges have been laid to date concerning any alleged activity at Sandy Beach but offences could range from offensive conduct in a public place to indecent exposure.
