NSW Maritime is committed to serving the boating community. One key area where that commitment is being delivered is infrastructure.

For more than 10 years, Maritime has delivered improved boating facilities statewide under a grants initiative now titled the Better Boating Program. This program started in 1998 and has since provided more than $25 million in grants to fund more than 470 boating facility projects across NSW.

From small works like upgraded dinghy storage racks to large boat launching facilities with dual access ramps, pontoons and car/trailer parking, NSW Maritime is working with partners such as councils to fund dozens of projects every year.

This work directly benefits boating groups with the delivery of safer and more convenient access to our wonderful waterways. Those benefits also flow on to local communities and business, as the Better Boating Program projects often help underpin local tourism and recreational activities.

4 Each year, NSW Maritime invites applications for grants under its funding scheme which is currently $5 million per annum, with a total commitment of $25 million over five years. Applications are assessed by a panel that includes representatives of boating and stakeholder groups and are judged on criteria chosen to encourage better and safer access to waterways.

The aim of the Better Boating Program is to provide waterways infrastructure for the boating community and improve public access to waterways. Additional benefits include better access for people with disabilities, safer public wharves, which may be used in conjunction with local ferry services, and opportunities to encourage and promote maritime precinct developments which meet community expectations and help create maritime related jobs.

NSW Maritime will continue to work with local councils, State agencies, boating organisations and community groups to deliver new and upgraded boat ramps in areas of highest need and demand through the Better Boating Program.

NSW Maritime will also seek to ensure planning instruments and policies have regard for the community’s need for maritime infrastructure and cater for ongoing growth in boating and water sports.

28 , Sydney, NSW Photo: David Clare. Sydneysiders are fortunate to have on their doorstep not only the famous Harbour and beautiful northern waterways of Hawkesbury and Broken Bay, but also an extensive network of coastal inlets, bays and rivers in the southern part of the Sydney Region.

Botany Bay is a popular recreational boating location which doubles as a busy port; almost all of Sydney’s commercial shipping passes through Port Botany. Despite the traffic, has a diverse marine population and the area around its entrance provides some of the best scuba diving in the Sydney metropolitan area. The world’s largest population of Weedy Seadragon was found at the ‘Steps’ dive site, on the southern side of the Botany Bay National Park.

Feeding into Botany Bay from the west is the , which offers many more recreational boating opportunities.

Further south, Port Hacking combines unspoilt wetlands and marine grasses, shoals and tidal waterways. They are interlinked with a national park of great cultural significance and natural heritage importance. Port Hacking is one of Sydney’s most beautiful waterways and there’s loads to do on and in the water. 29 SYDNEY REGION

48 The , NSW. Photo: Amanda McLauchlan;Tourism NSW. The Murray River basin of 1,057,000 square kilometres is about one-seventh of the total area of Australia and comprises three-quarters of New South Wales. The mighty Murray River is Australia’s longest single river at 2,375 kilometres.

In the past, the Murray was busy with steamboats facilitating commercial trade. Today most traffic on the river is recreational, with water-skiing and fishing being popular pastimes. Houseboats are also common, both commercial for hire and privately owned, and the historic paddle steamers still offer cruises in some areas.

Australia’s third longest river, the Darling, measures 1,472 kilometres from its source in northern NSW to its confluence with the Murray River at Wentworth in southern NSW. If you include its longest contiguous tributaries, the system is 2,844 kilometres long, making it the longest inland network in Australia.
