Wollongong Police Inspector Matthew Glasgow said officers conducted two high-visibility operations targeting illegal driving behaviour and Public Health Order compliance at licensed venues.

During the road operation, officers fined 46 people for speeding and detected four drink-driving offences including a 26-year-old P1 driver who crashed into another parked car on Jacaranda Avenue, Figtree on Sunday.

Police attended and recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.153, which is in the high range. The woman's licence was suspended and she will be required to attend court at a later date.

"Whilst we were pleased with the overall results given the increased activity in the area, those offences are still a concern," Insp Glasgow said.

"There were two incidents of affray at licensed venues, which police are still investigating with further action pending."

Insp Glasgow said there was also one Wollongong CBD licensed venue that had breached its COVID management plan under Public Health Orders. He said the breach was being investigated with action expected to be taken, however, would not elaborate further.

"Police were also patrolling the beaches with the assistance of lifeguards and council rangers," he said. "It was evident people were social distancing.

"Officers did have to warn some people, who were unaware of the legislation or what constituted a gathering. No action was taken for people breaching the health orders."

A Wollongong City Council spokeswoman said there were 285 fines issues for parking offences with the hotspots at Wollongong, Austinmer, Bulli, Thirroul and Stanwell Park.

"While it's always important to park in appropriate locations, and within marked areas if these are available, on busy days it's essential. Safe parking ensures everyone - drivers, pedestrians and cyclists - can use parks and roads safely," she said.

"Our rangers will continue to focus on safe parking in our foreshore locations over the summer months, and encourage everyone to be mindful of other road and park users by parking legally and safely."

A Shellharbour City Council spokeswoman said the council received complaints regarding illegal camping at Reddall Reserve, Boonerah Point and Bass Point, with investigations continuing.

She said numerous fines and warnings were issued for parking infringements, primarily at Reddall Reserve, Reddall Parade and Bass point.

"Of particular concern was parking and driving across shared cycle ways and footpaths which endangers users, particularly children," she said.

"Council regulation officers were focused on safety concerns such as parking, dogs on beaches and restricted areas and camping compliance."
