Bondi is reportedly dealing with a public defecation problem, according to a local dog walker’s social media post from October 10, 2024.
Julia Sakr, who regularly walks her dogs in the beachside suburb, shared her experiences on TikTok, expressing frustration over repeatedly encountering what she believes to be human waste in public areas. Sakr claims to have found excrement “tucked neatly into the kerb” on multiple occasions.

In her video, Sakr describes the unpleasant task of cleaning human waste from her dogs’ fur after they investigate and sometimes consume the faeces. She provided photographic evidence of excrement on one of her dog’s white fur to support her claims.
The issue appears to extend beyond Sakr’s personal experiences. Several commenters on her post reported similar encounters, with one claiming to have witnessed two runners defecating in public areas. Some speculate that early morning fitness enthusiasts might be responsible due to a lack of open public facilities during their workout times.
Local authorities had not commented on the issue or proposed solutions.
