Blackfellows Lake Boat Ramp Facilities
Upgrade current informal ramp to include a concrete boat ramp, pontoon, lighting and formalised car park and access road.
Background
The following scopes of work has been delivered at the site:
- the replacement of the existing gravel boat ramp with a new reinforced concrete boat ramp
- upgrade (widening and sealing) of 600m of access road, including shoulder parking and car / trailer turnaround points
- solar lighting
- fixed jetty and floating pontoon
- landscaping, safety signage and fencing
- diamond grid foreshore access path
Purpose
The overarching purpose of this project is to improve the standard of this recreational boating facility, used by locals and visitors alike.
Council’s Maritime Infrastructure Plan (February 2014) identified upgrades to the existing boat ramp, launching area and access road in the short term scope of works, and installation of lighting and a pontoon jetty in the medium/long term scope of works.
