Better Boating Victoria has launched a new website for Victorians to have their say on how recreational boating and infrastructure is managed in the State’s bays.
The Minister for Fishing and Boating, Jaala Pulford said the new website gave the boating community access to the Port Phillip and Western Port Boating Infrastructure Review Discussion Paper.
Ms Pulford said the discussion paper was part of the Labor Government’s review into improving the management of boating infrastructure across the bays and would be open for public consultation until 10 January.
“The Discussion Paper has been prepared by Deloitte, who were appointed to undertake the review in September this year,” Ms Pulford said.
“The feedback received from the discussion paper consultation will inform improvements to boating infrastructure management options,” she said.
“A summary report outlining the findings from the discussion paper consultation and the next steps in the review will be released early next year.”
Ms Pulford said the Government’s $47.2 million investment in recreational boating improvements also included the removal of parking and launching fees at public boat ramps and upgrades to six boats ramps at priority locations across the State.
