A number of boating facilities across the state have received upgrades through $1 million from the Recreational Boating Fund.
There were 14 facility upgrades in 2019-20, highlighted in the Marine and Safety annual report, including:
*Lake Leake pontoon installation;
*Musselroe Bay landing stage;
*Dodges Ferry walkway;
*Lake Burbury launching area;
*Macquarie Heads launching area;
*Tomahawk launching area; and
*Craigbourne Dam upgraded access.
These upgrades have improved access and facilities for commercial and recreational fishers in Tasmania.
The annual report also highlighted the commencement of our long-term dredging program for barway access at St Helens.
It also showed there were more than 10,000 vouchers issued through the Tasmanian Government’s life jacket replacement program.
The Tasmanian Government thanks the MAST board, management and staff for their work.
