South Australian Boating Facilities Strategic Plan

In 2017, the Minister released the South Australian Boating Facilities Strategic Plan (PDF, 7664 KB). The intent of the strategic plan was to set out strategies to use this levy funding effectively and guide strategic investment in boating infrastructure.

Before the strategic plan’s release, a background report (PDF, 2037 KB) was published – outlining the outcomes from consultation with key stakeholders. This helped inform the final strategic plan.

Marine Facilities Fund

Section 90A of the Harbors and Navigation Act 1993 provides for a Marine Facilities Fund, which consists of:

  • levies payable on the registration of a vessel that is required to be registered under the Act
  • income from investment of money belonging to the Facilities Fund.

Under Section 90AA of the Act, the facilities levy is imposed to provide a source of revenue to establish, maintain and improve facilities used by vessels in South Australia. These facilities include boat ramps, aids to navigation and marine radio.

The balance of the Marine Facilities Fund is published in the Treasurer's Financial Statements: Appendix, Statement G each financial year.
