Support for Additional Public Moorings at Bass Point
As part of our commitment to enhancing boating opportunities in the Illawarra, we are seeking your support for the instillation of additional public moorings at Bass Point. These moorings will assist in safe and environmentally responsible temporary mooring of recreational vessels.
The proposed installation aligns with Maritime NSW’s commitment to supporting safe, sustainable, and accessible boating infrastructure. It also complements broader state objectives to promote tourism, regional development, and coastal recreation.
Bass Point is one of the region’s most popular boating and diving destinations. However, the limited number of public moorings often makes it difficult for vessels to secure safe access. This not only reduces boating enjoyment but also limits the creation of a safe, reliable recreational environment for boaters and the local community.
By increasing the number of moorings, we can achieve:
- Safer and more reliable access for boat owners and visitors.
- Greater opportunities for recreational boating, fishing, and diving.
- Reduced environmental impact from anchoring, minimising damage to sensitive marine habitats.
- Enhanced tourism and economic benefits for our local community.
We invite you to show your support by signing this petition. Together, we can demonstrate to local authorities the strong demand for more public moorings at Bass Point and secure a safer, more sustainable future for boating in our waters.
Thank you for supporting this important initiative.
