Gippsland Ports, along with other local agencies provides boating facilities to suit the interests and needs of commercial and recreational boaters.
Public berthing facilities are regulated under the Port Management (Local Ports) Regulations 2015. Gippsland Ports make it easy for mariners to understand time limits in place at all of our public berthing areas via signage and the Waterways Online mapping tool. Gippsland Ports’ Authorised Officers patrol public berthing areas on a regular basis and vessel operators are requested to observe the posted time limits of the “Colour Coded Berthing Zones” when using public facilities within the Ports/waterways.
Public Swing Moorings are also available for temporary berthing at various sites on the Gippsland Lakes for up to 48 hours. (vessel size limits apply) Follow this link for more information.
