Have your say on proposed upgrades at the Werribee South boat ramp as part of planned improvements by the Andrews Labor Government.
The upgrade is just one project in an unprecedented investment to improve recreational boating in Victoria via the $33 million Better Boating Fund – including making the use of Victorian boat ramps free of charge.
Better Boating Victoria has worked with coastal engineers to develop concept designs for the upgrade, with public feedback open for four weeks until Friday, 17 December.
The plans include adding two additional boat ramp lanes to make launching and retrieving boats more efficient, extra pontoons to allow more vessels to be berthed, and provisions for all future abilities access.
Other proposed improvements include realigning the parking area to provide more boat preparation spaces away from the main ramp along with additional entry and waiting lanes to increase capacity and reduce queuing back to Beach Road.
Once public feedback is collated, the data will be analysed and incorporated into a final concept plan to be developed alongside local user groups and Wyndham City Council.
An unprecedented increase from the previous $5 million per year investment, the new Better Boating Fund delivers on a 2018 election promise to ensure all money from the licence fees and recreational vessel registration of Victorian boaters goes to improving boating infrastructure and programs.
