boating safety

checklist

To ensure you have the best possible boating

experience on Port Phillip it’s important to do

a few things before you depart.

Be prepared before you leave

l Carry safety equipment according to the regulations, including

approved life jackets or PFD-1s.

l 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.

l Have a chart of where you are going and a radio.

l Tell someone where you are going and when you expect

to return.

l Know the rules, local regulations and distress signals.

l Check out local conditions, weather and tides.

l Carry sufficient fuel, water and a first aid kit.

l Ensure engine reliability and adequate fuel system and always

carry sufficient fuel.

l Don’t overload your boat.

On the water

l Adhere to the prescribed speed limits.

l Ensure you always keep to the right of channels.

l Wear your life jackets.

l Keep a safe distance between your boat and other boats.

Remember your wake can affect others users, including those

on floating infrastructure.

l Keep a lookout at all times, especially for rowers or non

powered craft who are generally harder to see and hear.

l Never mix alcohol and operating a vessel.

l Keep well clear of moving ships as they may alter course and

without notice.

l Do not obstruct the movement of large vessels by drifting in

shipping channels and across shipping tracks.

l 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.

l Take care not to cross ahead of a large vessel as you may

underestimate its speed and not be seen.

l If you hear a vessel sounding at least five short and rapid blasts

on its horn, you must get out of its way.

l Keep a careful watch on the weather and watch out for other

boats and hazards.

l Ensure a low wake is maintained when passing rowers and

other non powered vessels.

Regulations to be observed

• Immediately slow down to 5 knots around swimmers or divers.

• Don’t exceed the speed limit.

• Observe boat zone boundaries and restrictions.

• Know the Marine National Park and Marine Sanctuary

boundaries and restrictions.

• Take all rubbish home with you and dispose of appropriately.

• Remember all native plants and animals are protected by law.

• Jumping or diving from piers or bridges is not permitted.

look after

the bay

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.

• Store rubbish securely on your boat and always take all rubbish

home with you.

• Dispose of sewage waste properly and use pump out facilities

where they are available.

• Clean out bilges and sumps regularly.

• Launch or retrieve your craft at designated launching ramps.

• Observe recreational fishing regulations.

• Keep clear of bird nesting and roosting areas.

• Remember all native plants and animals are protected by law.

• Get involved with a marine friends group. For information

contact Parks Victoria.

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.

Discover a sunken warship

Lying in approximately 28 metres under the surface, the ex-HMAS

Canberra is a spectacular dive with many sections of the ship open

for exploration including flight decks, the bridge, engine rooms,

galley, and accommodation quarters.

Access to the dive site is restricted to those participating in diving

and snorkelling activities only. To enter the dive site divers must

either book a dive tour with a licensed tour operator or book a

2 hour time slot on the public mooring. Contact Parks Victoria for

more information or for bookings visit www.parkstay.vic.gov.au

Map Ref F14

Encounter whales, dolphins and seals in their

natural habitat

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.

Contact the Department of Sustainability and Environment for

guidelines on watching wildlife.

Map reference K14

Experience the new Queenscliff Harbour

The redeveloped Queenscliff Harbour is definitely worth the trip.

Restaurants and cafes complement the setting and the viewing

tower provides stunning views over Port Phillip Heads and Swan

Bay. The historic Queenscliff Pier and the charming Queenscliff

Township are only a short stroll away.

Map reference J13

Explore amazing underwater marine life

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.

Hook a fishing adventure

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.

Map reference W8

Visit coastal villages

Plan a day trip to one of the many seaside villages dotted around

Port Phillip. Accessible via local piers, the coastal villages have a

range of services and attractions to explore including restaurants

and cafes. Highlights include the peaceful Portarlington fishing

village, the historic maritime precinct at Williamstown, St Kilda’s

cosmopolitan foreshore and the bustling boutiques of Sorrento.

Licensed Tour Operators

Take the easy approach to organising your great bay adventures

by booking a tour, dive or fishing trip with one of Parks Victorias

licensed tour operators. For more information contact Parks Victoria.

Rediscover

nature

Reconnect

with life

Throughout the world there is growing recognition

of the vital contribution parks and waterways make

to a healthy environment, healthy individuals and

a healthy society. Enjoying Port Phillip is not only

a great day out – it’s good for you.

For further information contact the

Parks Victoria Information Centre on 13 1963

or visit www.parkweb.vic.gov.au

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.

Anchoring

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.

Aquaculture reserves

Eight offshore marine Aquaculture Fisheries Reserves have been

established in Port Philip. These reserves total 1,990 ha including

existing aquaculture areas and have been farmed for over 30 years.

The reserves are clearly identified by yellow ‘special marks’ (piles

or buoys) with ’Aquaculture‘ inscribed in black lettering on the

yellow ‘X’ top mark and yellow synchronised lights at the external

boundaries. Within the Reserves are Crown lease areas designated

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 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 enter Crown leases without the express permission of the

leaseholder.

• Don’t encroach on Crown leases by keeping all equipment such

as anchors, fishing lines and lures away from these areas.

• Don’t tie up to navigation aids, aquaculture equipment or

external Crown lease boundary buoys.

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

the AFRs.

For more information contact Fisheries Victoria.

Aquatic pests

When you participate in recreational boating activities you may be

unknowingly spreading marine pests. You can protect Port Phillip

by keeping your boat and equipment clean and following these

simple steps:

1. Dislodge all plants and animals and bin them.

2. Drain water from boat and gear Try not to let it drain back

into the water.

3. Dispose of unwanted live bait in a bin.

4. Douse your boat and gear with freshwater and try not to let

it drain back into the water.

5. Dry your boat and equipment.

6. Don’t forget to apply an authorised antifoulant where

appropriate (within the antifoulant maximum in-service period

and as directed on the can).

For more information contact the Department of Primary Industries.

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.

Dredging

When encountering a dredge vessel recreational boat operators

should always maintain a safe speed and pass on the non

obstruction side of the dredge vessel.

The safe side of passage is indicated by a double black diamond

signal on the vessel. A double black ball signal indicates the

obstruction side to avoid. A third black ball, black diamond, black

ball signal indicates the vessel is restricted in its manoeuvrability.

Maintenance dredging is conducted by Parks Victoria to maintain

safe access to boating facilities in key locations such as Queenscliff,

Patterson River, Werribee River, St Kilda Pier and Mordialloc Creek.

Water depth surveys for Patterson River and Mordialloc Creek are

available from the Parks Victoria website.

Dredging of shipping channels and fairways is managed by

the Port of Melbourne Corporation and Victorian Regional

Channels Authority.

Pass safely this side Obstruction this side

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.

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.

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.

Fishing

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.

Fuel

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.

Marine National Parks and Sanctuaries

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.

There are four Marine National Parks and Sanctuaries within

Port Phillip:

Q Jawbone Marine Sanctuary (30 ha)

W Point Cooke Marine Sanctuary (290 ha)

E Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary (120 ha)

R Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park (3580 ha)

comprises six separate areas – Mud Islands, Point Lonsdale,

Point Nepean, Popes Eye, Portsea Hole and Swan Bay.

Marine National Parks

and Sanctuaries locations

The Barwon Bluff T and Mushroom Reef Y Marine

Sanctuaries are also nearby.

Know the boundaries – penalties apply

A number of activities are not permitted within the boundaries of

Victoria’s Marine National Parks and Marine Sanctuaries. It’s your

responsibility to know the boundaries.

• No fishing

• No spear fishing

• No taking or damaging of any animals,

plants and objects (artefacts)

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.

To report offences call the Department of Primary

Industries on 13 3474.

For more information on Marine National Parks and Sanctuaries

contact Parks Victoria.

Snorkeler steps from a boat at Popes Eye

Moorings

Parks Victoria directly manage approximately 1,950 of an

estimated 2,900 swing moorings in 51 locations around Port Phillip

Bay and Western Port. The balance are managed by 11 various

Yacht and boat clubs and mooring associations acting as agents for

Parks Victoria. For more information contact Parks Victoria.

Book with Parks Victoria to stay at public destination moorings

in Queenscliff, Limeburners Bay (near Geelong), Williamstown

and Sorrento.

Notice to mariners

A Notice to Mariners is issued by a Harbour

Master, Port Manager or Waterway Manager

to advise commercial mariners, recreational

boaters and waterway users of a significant

change in a port or waterway which may affect

the safe navigation of a vessel. Boat operators

should always check the latest Notice to

Mariners before operating a boat on Port

Phillip. Notice to Mariners are available on the

Parks Victoria, Port of Melbourne Corporation

and Victorian Regional Channels Authority websites.

Boat operators should carry accurate Australian navigation charts

(Aus 143, Aus 144, Aus 153, Aus 154, Aus 155, Aus 157 and Aus

158) which can be purchased through mapping retailers and the

Australian Hydrographic Service.

Port security

Victorian Water Police manage port security in partnership with

port managers. If you see something suspicious on the water,

contact the Water Police.

Port security boats patrol the restricted waterside zones. In line

with the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, ports

have three security levels– Level 1 is the default. The Port of

Melbourne Corporation website provides advice on the current

security level.

Pump out facilities

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.

Use a holding tank for sewage and dispose of waste properly on

land or use provided pump out facilities. Boat sewerage pump

out systems are used designed for larger boats that have holding

tanks. Sewerage hoppers are designed for boats that use a

portable toilet.

Radio channels

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:

Recreational Vessels VHF Channel 72, 73 and 77

27MHz Channel 96

Port Operations VHF Channel 12

Emergency Calls and calling VHF Channel 16 and 67

27MHz Channel 86 and 88

Rowing and non powered vessels

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.

Shipping channels and fairways – steer clear

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.

It is the responsibility of recreational boat operators to:

• Keep clear of ships at all times.

• Never anchor in shipping channels or transit only zones.

• Never obstruct the path of ships or assume a ship can see you.

• Never tie up to navigation aids such as buoys or channel markers.

Penalties apply.

For more information contact Port of Melbourne Corporation or

Victorian Regional Channels Authority.

Shipwreck Protection Zones

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.

Speed restrictions

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.

A maximum speed of 5 knots applies on Port Phillip when

operating a vessel:

• Within 50m of swimmers, other vessels and fixed

or floating structures.

• Within 100m of divers flags.

• Within 200m of waters edge in coastal and enclosed

waters. Greater speed limit distances are in place along

the shallower Mornington Peninsula bay beaches.

Swing basins

Swing basins are areas where large commercial ships turn when

entering and leaving berths. Be aware of ships at all times near

swing basins and steer clear for your safety.

Wildlife watching

Port Phillip is home to an amazing array of wildlife. When you

see dolphins, seals or whales, make sure you give them plenty

of space. Never approach closer than 100 metres and leave them

alone if they show signs of agitation such as diving or rapid

changes in direction.

At the Ticonderoga Bay sanctuary zone (map ref J15), vessels

cannot approach dolphins and whales any closer than 200 metres.

For more information contact the Department of Sustainability

and Environment.

Boat ramps

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.

shipping traffic. All boat operators should seek quality advice

before attempting to pass through Port Phillip Heads.

Vessels are prohibited from landing at Point Nepean within the

Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park.

Hovercraft are prohibited from entering Port Phillip Heads Marine

National Park.
