A draft boating safety plan for Botany Bay, Georges River and other tributaries is available for public comment.

http://www.maritime.nsw.gov.au/wh/bbgr-draft-boatingplan.html

The draft plan – which applies to Botany Bay, the Cooks River to the Princes Highway Bridge, the Georges River, including Chipping Norton Lakes, and the Woronora River – aims to provide an overarching guide to best managing the popular waterways.

The plan will provide new framework and a new model for preparing future boating safety plans, the next of which will be for Sydney Harbour and its tributaries.

The document, prepared by the Office of Boating Safety and Maritime Affairs in collaboration with Roads and Maritime Services, is available for viewing at RMS offices in Sutherland, Liverpool and Rozelle.

Comment can be made on the draft plan by COB Friday 21 September to georgesriver@transport.nsw.gov.au or addressed to:
