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.

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.

• 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.

Wildlife watching

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

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.

Penalties apply. For more information contact Port of Melbourne Corporation or Victorian Regional Channels Authority.

STAY WITH THE BOAT • A vessel is a lot easier to spot than a swimmer • Anchor your boat to maintain position if safe to do so

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.

• when operating in an area where a gale, storm of severe thunderstorm warning or severe weather warning issued by the Bureau of Meteorology is current

Parks Victoria has the accountability for the safety of water users, control of vessel activities and movements in the local port and is authorised under the Marine Act 1988 to issue infringement notices or prosecute people who break the law.

• when the vessel is a yacht without safety barriers or safety harnesses in use

The Victorian Water Police can also issue infringement notices and work in partnership with Parks Victoria on Port Phillip to ensure the bays are used safely.

• when the vessel may capsize or be swamped or when occupants are at risk of falling overboard

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. Contact

• Within 100m of divers flags.

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.

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.

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.
