NO-BOATING zones are set to be expanded in areas across Port Phillip Bay.
The zones will be expanded at Carrum, Chelsea, Aspendale, Hampton, and Elwood. Works in Carrum will increase the area to align with Progress Avenue, and expand the area around Patterson River.
Carrum MP Sonya Kilkenny said “after a review and community feedback, no-boating zones will be expanded in the bay, and clearer signage and navigational aids will be installed to make the areas clear for anyone visiting the bay.”
“Works will also continue north along the bay to increase the area zoned for swimmers and make it easier for boaters to avoid accidents,” she said. “Safer beaches is what makes Carrum a great place to live and visit.
“These changes to swimming and boating zones along the bay will make it safer and easier for everyone to enjoy a day at some of our most popular beaches.”
Works at Carrum to add new signage and navigational aids are scheduled to begin in May.
