Afternoon All, 

 

What a great start to the summer boating season! The last few weeks have been extremely busy, from interactions at the local ramps to attending a number of Club presentations and shows--recently the Rip & Ride at The Wall Cronulla. What a fantastic event that was, held over three days. Riders from all around the state and also some international riders including world number 1s. It was a pleasure to meet these PWC enthusiasts who displayed a high level of professionalism during the event, showing that the vast majority of PWC riders abide by the rules. 

 

A number of persons have been raising PWC concerns with me of late at various events and when interacting at the boat ramps. As always, this summer Maritime and the NSW Police will be patrolling our waterways, but as with everything they cannot be everywhere at once. If you are experiencing problems with the minority of PWC users who conducted irregular riding and poor behaviour contrary to the rules, please make a note of the registration, call  13 12 36 and press 1 for PWC complaints. It’s vital that the members of the public or clubs report these issues as the information collected aids in the tasking of resources into areas that see a high volume of poor behaviour. At the end of the day the public are the eyes and ears of the water ways and the information provided helps.
