Council is recommending people stay out of the water at Platypus Beach almost a fortnight after dangerous bacteria was detected there.
A Mackay Regional Council statement issued on Friday said ongoing tests showed little change to moderate E.coli and Intestinal Enterococci levels.
“Council recommends that members of the public don’t swim in the area,” the statement said.

“(It) will outline an approach on how to best manage the site into the future,” the council’s statement said.
