Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · refresh) I agree with the Advertising tag. This is crap. The Tourism section lists accomodation and its facilites! This is more of a writing style seen in flyers at a local Hotel. This is an encyclopaedia.

[edit] Advert tag

I have tagged this article as reading a bit like an advert due to its overwhelming wealth of tourism style information. Please have a look at another Australian suburb that is currently a featured article, Waterfall Gully, South Australia for ideas on what the article should look like. Thanks.

Agree. needs some work to make it conform to other suburbs. Steven Fitter 01:22, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Establishment date

As with many other Central Coast suburb pages, the establishment date is completely incorrect. Bateau Bay existed long before 1991. The information is being culled from a government site but that being said, it is incorrect.

Agreed. Is there an official history of the shire? In WA just about every shire (even the tiny ones) have produced a book which can be found in both the local library, and in the State Library of WA, which usually give a fairly solid history of most metropolitan areas and are a good guide to establishment dates.
