Our Plans
Initially we are looking to develop a new floating jetty at the Naval Point slipway, which will provide for improved facilities and safety for all users.
The jetty consists of three parts:
- Fixed timber access jetty
- 12 metre gangway connecting the fixed and floating jetties
- 20 metre x 5.25 metre floating jetty using five exsiting concrete breakwater units
The estimated cost for the above is $220,000 which excludes private contributions of approx $100,000.
Benefits
- Stable floating jetty in rough conditions to berth boats against for launching / recovery to/from boat trailers.
- The jetty will act as a buffer for waves generated in adverse weather conditions, calming waves which in turn will provide for safer transition to/from boat trailers.
The jetty is positioned to the south therefore boats will be blown away from the jetty due to sudden wind gusts from the south. - Ability to guide boats onto trailers using hand lines
- Additional berthing available during peak usage times, assuming weather conditions permit.
This jetty is phase one of a larger concept plan to enhance facilities at Naval Point. However the jetty is needed to attract more users to make the subsequent steps viable.
