From 11:59pm on 8 July, if you live in metropolitan Melbourne and Mitchell Shire, you can leave home for permitted exercise and recreation activities that are outdoors and can be done by yourself, members of your household, or with one other person. ... You must be able to maintain a 1.5 metre distance and no equipment should be shared. This includes, fishing, boating, surfing, recreational diving, learning to drive, or reading in a park.

16.01.2022 EASING OF RESTRICTIONS - INCLUDES SERVICING As you will be aware that today the Premier made a series of COVID restriction announcements and progress to the Sec...ond Step of the Roadmap. https://www.vic.gov.au/second-step-coronavirus-road-to-reco BIAV is pleased to advise, that with regard to the Servicing, Safety and Maintenance of vessels, the following wording has been provided Boat maintenance: marine and specialist mechanics permitted to operate when required for safe operation including scheduled/logbook inspections. As you would be aware, BIAV has campaigned for this outcome, and are relieved that this decision has been made. We thank the Minister Melissa Horne for championing this, as well as Gary Gaffney at BBV, and the various DJRP officials that also listened to our safety case and gave support. BIAV will continue discussions over the next couple of days with the government, clarifying any of the finer points, and also working towards our next objectives in the areas of retail and then boating itself. Fishing/Boating Today's announcement also triggers the easing of restriction for recreational boating and fishing activities in metropolitan Melbourne with individuals able to go fishing and undertake boating activities on human-powered crafts only, within 5km of your home and a two-hour time limit applies. Whilst this is not ideal and does not allow for powerboating, it is a small step in the right direction. We will work with government to push for a return to all forms of boating, with a possible timeframe for that being the Third Step revised date of 19 October. We will keep you posted.

09.01.2022 Anyone who uses Stony Point boat ramp will know the car park has needed a makeover for a while. Well, last week it got one. Thanks to just under $60,000 of gov...ernment funding, new asphalt was laid from the entrance gate to the fish cleaning tables and new car-trailer-unit line marking was added to make parking clearer and more efficient. Big shout out to the Stony Point Committee of Management for working with us to deliver this project. With the easing of coronavirus restrictions, we’d like to remind boaters to only leave home if you really need to and adhere to the physical distancing and social gathering requirements if you do go boating for recreational purposes.

07.01.2022 RESTRICTIONS EASED - BOATING 11/05/20 1:30 pm The Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has advised that outdoor activities involving groups under 10 people can take... place from midnight Tuesday 12 May. This means that with social distancing in place, boating can return to Victorian Waters. The Premier specifically said You can go out in your tinny, so long as you practice social distancing, during his 11am press conference this morning (11 May). Our understanding is that this extends to all forms of boating whether it be tow sport related, sailing (small crews), fishing, cruising or just going to a marina berthed vessel (however not for overnight stays and without clubhouses being opened). We would assume also that charter and tourism activities that can provide social distancing on board, and keep groups under 10, should be good to resume. Validating this is a comment from the Boating Minister on her Facebook page as follows - Jaala Pulford MP - "For the avoidance of doubt, fishing and boating are allowed, so long as appropriate physical distancing is maintained". BIAV has been calling for this progress for some weeks now and we are delighted that the Premier has made this announcement today, as part of the first step toward recovery. To read the Premier’s announcement, which we applaud, please visit https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/statement-from-the-premier-/ We thank the Premier, the Boating and Fishing Minister Jaala Pulford, the Better Boating Victoria CEO Gary Gaffney, and all other government officials that have worked toward this step being reached. We also acknowledge the efforts of all industry and boating community members that have acted in the interests of this happening. BIAV encourages all members of the boating community to act sensibly, to follow the social distancing requirements, adopt heightened hygiene measures, and stay safe as you return to Victoria’s magnificent waterways.
