Little River is currently CLOSED for the annual lambing season. It has been closed since 2nd August 2021 and will remain closed until further notice.
The reason that the site is closed for lambing (and most of Banks Peninsula) is that ewes when stressed (from wings / gliders overhead and at launch) will abort, abandon & miss mother lambs, this normally results in dead lambs.
If you're unsure, ask
It is each pilots individual responsibility be they a club member, visiting or commercial operation, to be up to date with site and club notices and to make certain they have the most current information and to ask when they don't know.
For all the general information of flying from Little River, or any other sites, please read the recently updated site guide - you can find it here.
If you have any questions the current HG and PG site officers are:-

During the flying season
Don't forget during the season to txt to advise the farmer every day before flying Little River, he normally replies to txts. Further information can be found in the CHGPC sites guide.
