Educating skippers about safety on the water is a key role of our Department and central to that work is a series of free, handy, easy to use guides for popular boating destinations throughout WA.
The brand-new Busselton to Dunsborough Boating Guide was recently published to focus on key safety information for the busiest and most popular boating locations within Geographe Bay.
Local and visiting skippers now have a dedicated guide to help them safely navigate between Busselton and Dunsborough while carrying the correct safety equipment for their area of operation. It provides detailed information for safe navigation at boat ramps and waterski areas and features the rules at Busselton Jetty highlighting the speed limits and restrictions.
Previously, Geographe Bay was included in a combined guide covering Bunbury and Busselton. The refreshed Bunbury Boating Guide now includes additional information about the Collie River and Leschenault Estuary, highlights the speed limits and reinforces personal water craft (PWC) restricted zones for the greater Bunbury area.
The Department uses funds from recreational boat registration fees to produce the boating guide series. All the guides are on our Boating guides page or available via Deckee.
It’s recommended skippers download the guide for easy reference – especially when entering unfamiliar waters.
