Opossum Bay

An upgrade to the Opossum Bay boat ramp has now been completed, with the ramp widened by 2.5 metres and extended by 4 metres. These improvements make the Opossum Bay facility more user-friendly, particularly at low tide.

Sisters Beach

Final approvals have been obtained, and a contractor has been appointed for a new concrete landing stage at Sisters Beach. Works are scheduled to commence after Easter 2026, with completion expected by the end of June 2026.

Millbrook Rise

Improvements at Millbrook Rise have recently been completed, including the installation of a new 21-metre pontoon and a 3.3-metre concrete abutment on the northern side of the boat ramp. The new pontoon complements the existing pontoon on the southern side of the boat ramp.

Lake Crescent

A contractor has been appointed to construct a new timber walkway at the Lake Crescent boat ramp. Works are scheduled to begin in late February 2026, with completion expected by early April 2026.
