The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI is developing a Strategic Plan to boost boating participation, guide investment in maritime infrastructure and improve the boating experience across the State.
The South Australian Boating Strategic Plan will focus on the State's four key geographic regions with high levels of boating activity; namely, the Central, Western, South Eastern and Murray regions. Within each region, priority projects will be identified which improve safety and access to the waterways, enhance destinations for boaters and maximise benefits for the boating and broader community.
The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) has engaged the Boating Industry Association (BIA) to assist in developing the Plan and engaging with stakeholders.
Boaters, local government and the wider community are being asked to get involved in two phases of engagement. Firstly, there will be opportunities to contribute local information on the current state of boating infrastructure and new ideas, then secondly community forums to comment of draft plans.
Working closely with Councils and getting feedback from as many stakeholders as possible are critical aspects of this engagement.
An online survey has been set up so that you can provide feedback about boating and boating facilities in your region.
To complete the survey, so to:

You can also provide feedback or contact the project team via phone, email or post.
