Do not obstruct the movement of large vessels by drifting in
shipping channels and across shipping tracks.

Be aware that the bow-wave or wash from large ships, including
the large commercial ferries, can cause your boat to capsize or roll
heavily as to cause serious injury to its occupants.

Recreational fishing can be undertaken throughout non-leased
parts of the reserves in accordance with the conditions below:
• Keep to public areas of the Aquaculture Fisheries Reserves.
• Watch for divers and keep vessels and equipment a safe distance
from aquaculture equipment.
• Always travel at a safe speed and keep boat wash to a minimum.
• Be aware of and comply with all boating and fisheries related
regulations.

• Don’t encroach on Crown leases by keeping all equipment such
as anchors, fishing lines and lures away from these areas.

If you hear a vessel sounding at least five short and rapid blasts
on its horn, you must get out of its way.

• Don’t tie up to navigation aids, aquaculture equipment or
external Crown lease boundary buoys.

Keep a careful watch on the weather and watch out for other
boats and hazards.

• Don’t berley, clean fish or discharge human waste in or around
the AFRs.

Ensure a low wake is maintained when passing rowers and
other non powered vessels.

Berthing facilities
Public berthing is available on piers and jetties all over Port Phillip
for up to 48 hours at a time. Time limits and other restrictions are
detailed on Parks Victoria signs at each location. Some areas have
been leased or allocated for commercial boat operators only. These
berths are not available for public use, including short term berthing.
Please observe these restrictions to ensure fair access for everyone.

Boat operators have a responsibility to protect the marine
environment and ensure it can be enjoyed for future generations
to come. You can protect Port Phillip and minimise your
environmental impact by following these simple guidelines:
• Avoid anchoring over seagrass and reef areas and consider
purchasing an anchor that does less damage to seabeds.

• Keep your boat clean and protected from aquatic pests.
• Reduce speed when operating power boats in shallow water or
when close to the shore line as propellers can cause considerable
damage to sensitive seabeds.
• Prevent pollutants such as petrol, oil, sewage and detergents
from entering the water.

Event exclusion zones
A number of the spectacular events that take place on the
bay requires sections of Port Phillip to be closed for event and
spectator safety. Exclusion zones are created by a temporary
change to the Marine Act 1988 that allows the closure of a
designated area of water for the safety of event patrons and the
general public. Exclusion zones are patrolled by Parks Victoria
patrol boats and recreational boat operators should follow the
directions of Parks Victoria officers at all times.

Port security

Poor water quality affects the health of the bay and in turn
the enjoyment of recreational boating and fishing activities on
Port Phillip. Discharge of sewage and other waste from boats is
prohibited, adds pollutants to our valuable waterways and poses
a risk to marine ecosystems and human health.

swing basins and steer clear for your safety.

RAISE THIS ALARM

For your safety refuelling should always be carried out ‘on-boat’
and not by leaning over the boat from a pier, jetty or landing.
Care should always be taken to ensure fuel, oil and other potential
pollutants are stored and transferred carefully and not spilt –
especially on banks, in the water or on piers and jetties. When in
public areas all diesel or unleaded fuel should be transported in
AS2906 containers with a volume no greater than 25 litres. Larger
containers or smaller sub-standard containers should not be used.
Multiple containers can be used or fuel can be purchased from
boat fuel retailers around Port Phillip.

Large ships travel Port Phillip shipping channels during all hours
of the day and night and sometimes travel outside designated
fairways. A ship’s blind spot can extend for many hundreds of
metres and it is very difficult for ships to change course quickly.

To report offences call the Department of Primary
Industries on 13 3474.

Offences by individuals may incur an infringement notice, or carry
penalties of up to 12 months imprisonment and/or fines of up to
$20,000. Vessels, vehicles and equipment may also be seized.

Fishing is permitted on Port Phillip and may be undertaken from
either a vessel or on land excluding channels and Marine National
Parks and Sanctuaries. A Recreational Fishing Licence is required
by all anglers in Victoria for persons aged between 18 – 70 unless
exempt. Please observe all fishing regulations and remember to
check bag and size limits, fishing methods and closed seasons. For
more information contact Fisheries Victoria.

A maximum speed of 5 knots applies on Port Phillip when
operating a vessel:

Port Phillip is popular for non-motorised vessels such as kite
boarding, rowing, kayaking and canoeing. When passing non
powered vessels, please ensure a low wake is maintained so as not
to disturb or tip these vessels over as they are more susceptible to
capsizing than larger motorised vessels.

Exclusion zones and river closures are advertised periodically in
the public notices section of the Herald Sun and the Government
Gazette. A Notice To Mariners is distributed prior to the event. For
more information contact Parks Victoria.

Marine National Parks and Sanctuaries are magnificent places for
exploring marine life, snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, low
speed recreational boating or sailing and photography. They protect
a unique and diverse range of marine plants, animals and habitats
for the benefit of current and future generations. Around 90 percent
of the plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world.

K15

• No taking or damaging of any animals,
plants and objects (artefacts)

The exclusion zone boundaries are usually indicated in the rivers
by red ‘Stop No Boats’ buoys for all events that require exclusion
zones in order to run an event organised race.

Bayside City Council

Never mix alcohol and operating a vessel.

As you travel across the bay, be on the lookout for whales,
dolphins or seals. Dolphins tend to be seen more often at the
southern end of Port Phillip while seals can be seen soaking up
the sun at Chinamans Hat. Remember to keep a safe distance
from wildlife at all times.

Licensed Tour Operators

Speed can be dangerous on the water. Not only is there a risk of
crashing into other vessels, land or navigation aids, there are many
other obstacles such as swimmers and divers or obstructions hidden
under the surface. Always maintain a good lookout and operate at
a safe speed and check local speed restrictions before you leave.

VHF Channel 16 and 67

for marine farming. Recreational users may enter the reserves at
their own risk and proceed with caution but cannot enter the lease
areas (within the marked boundaries) without permission of the
leaseholder.

Recreational Vessels

Carry sufficient fuel, water and a first aid kit.

When anchoring ensure you always place anchors correctly and
securely. Anchors damage reefs and seagrass beds when they are
allowed to shift. Consider purchasing a new anchor that does less
damage to seabeds. Where possible avoid anchoring over seagrass
and reef areas. Anchoring is not permitted in mooring grounds or
shipping channels and fairways.

With a surface area more than 35 times the size of Sydney Harbour,
there’s endless scope for fishing adventures in Port Phillip.
Whether you’re catching trevally, snapper, squid, leatherjackets,
salmon or bream, most fantastic fishing adventures start at
Patterson River. Four launching ramps with multiple lanes,
ample parking and continually improving facilities cater for over
50,000 boat launches each year and make Patterson River one of
Australia’s most popular boat ramp facilities.

Know the rules, local regulations and distress signals.

Hook a fishing adventure

There are a number of rules and regulations
that must be observed to protect the bay
environment and ensure safety for all users
of Port Phillip.

Werribee South

Tell someone where you are going and when you expect
to return.

Port Phillip is home to four Marine National Parks and Sanctuaries
which host diverse marine life not seen anywhere else in the world.
These marine protected areas provide a variety of snorkelling and
diving opportunities for varying skill levels. Within Port Phillip
Heads Marine National Park, Popes Eye is a great sheltered dive for
beginners while Portsea Hole is an excellent challenge for divers
with more experience. See Marine National Parks section.

All children under the age of 10 years must wear an approved
lifejacket or buoyancy vest/garment, or PFD-1, 2 or 3 while in
a recreational boat that is underway, unless the child is within
a deckhouse, cabin, half cabin or a secure enclosed space.

It’s no wonder Port Phillip is one of Victoria’s
most popular recreational destinations.
Whether it’s fishing, boating, kite boarding,
diving, swimming or simply walking along
one of the many piers, there’s so much to see
and do both on and under the water.

Boat ramp location

Carry safety equipment according to the regulations, including
approved life jackets or PFD-1s.

Historic Shipwreck Protection Zones are no entry areas around
very fragile shipwrecks. It is important to steer clear of these zones
because the fragile wrecks within them could easily be damaged
by anchoring, fishing or diving activities. It is illegal to enter a
protected zone without a permit from Heritage Victoria. Penalties
apply. For more information contact Heritage Victoria.

Marine radio is potentially a life line for vessels in an emergency.
Avoid unnecessary communications on marine radio. Be aware
of the following Marine Radio channels and frequencies when
operating a motorised vessel in Port Phillip:

Be prepared before you leave

Boat ramps are managed by several different agencies and councils throughout Port Phillip. Launching fees and facilities vary at each site.
If you’re unfamiliar with a particular boat ramp its recommended you contact the relevant boat ramp manager for more information
before your trip.
