It is maintained and operated by Roads and Maritime Services NSW (Roads and Maritime). Roads and Maritime proposes to upgrade the ferry ramps at Berowra Waters with precast concrete panels for the sections below the tide level and poured in situ ramp sections above the high water mark. Need for the proposal The proposal is required to maintain a safe ingress and egress for pedestrians and vehicles approaching the ferry. Maintenance inspections indicate the existing ferry ramps are showing signs of degradation that could pose a safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles. Without a safe operating ferry at Berowra Waters motorist travelling between Berrilee and Berowra would be required to detour via Galston, a detour of about 19 kilometres.

Thomas Dalton served this House and the people of his electorate faithfully from 14th February, 1953, to 6th February, 1956, and from 21st March, 1959, to 23rd January, 1968. His maiden speech to this House on 19th August, 1953, set the tone for his parliamentary career. Above all, he was concerned with the problems of his electorate, centred on the then rapidly growing Sutherland district. In that speech he spolte on housing, transport and the industrial development of the Botany Bay region. It is ironical that one of the principal concerns that he expressed in his maiden speech was for home buyers following the increases in housing interest rates by the federal Government of the day. In recent years we have become accustomed to hearing of the need to tackle urban problems and to plan for future urban develop- ments.
