Emergency services continue to respond to the discovery of a significant unexploded German Second World War device at Exmouth Marina, which was found yesterday during routine dredging operations.
Specialist military teams are currently on site assessing the device and determining the safest method for disposal. Public safety remains the priority.
A 400m safety cordon remains in place, and residents within the affected area are still unable to return to their homes at this time. Approximately 2,000 homes continue to be impacted.
Emergency services, local councils and other public service partners are working closely together to manage the incident and ensure the safety of the community while plans for safe disposal progress.
Exmouth beach is closed today as a precaution.
Further updates will be shared here and on our Frequently Asked Questions page as soon as more information becomes available. We thank residents and visitors for their continued patience and cooperation.
