The police Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit responded to a report that identified a bomb had been found by children at Panatina Creek.
According to police, the unexploded ordnance was located about 25 metres from the home of the person who reported the matter.
It has now been removed by the Disposal unit and transported to Hells Point for destruction at a later date.
Police said the munition was not armed and the visible fusing system has been knocked-off from the bomb.
The unit also gave an informal unexploded ordnance awareness talk to locals.
People were told that if any member of the public found any bomb or ammunition they should not touch it but contact police.
