Boaters are reminded to keep clear of a section of Hunter River downstream of the Fitzgerald Bridge this Sunday for the safe staging of the powerboat races.
Roads and Maritime Services has granted Raymond Terrace Aquatic Club an exclusive use aquatic licence to host the event on the river between 9am and 5.30pm on Sunday 18 October.
An event area will be established on the Hunter River between Bourke Street and Swan Street at Raymond Terrace. The event area will be marked with inflatable buoys and monitored by control vessels.
Vessels not involved in the event should not enter the marked area unless authorised by a boating safety officer or a police officer. Fines may apply.
Roads and Maritime reminds people to wear a lifejacket when boating, especially in vessels smaller than 4.8 metres when alone, at night or offshore.
