South Australian Boating Facilities Strategic Plan

The South Australian Boating Facilities Strategic Plan will influence the allocation of boating infrastructure levy funds administered by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, to which most boat owners contribute, in order to take a more holistic approach to future investment decisions across South Australia. Local councils and large community organisations can apply for funding contributions from the fund towards eligible projects.

Facilities funding will be allocated to achieve the goals of the plan in three key priority areas:

  • Activating key boating hubs;
  • Connecting key boating routes; and
  • Improving safety outcomes.
