Boating Guide Leeman to Lancelin Marine Safety

Leeman to LancelinThe coastline between Leeman and Lancelin extends 150 kilometres north of Perth. It is a popular location among fishing, diving and snorkelling enthusiasts, with many islands and reefs, as well as the Jurien Bay Marine Park. Sea lions, dolphins and whales may also be sighted in these waters. It is also a great location for swimming, water skiing and sail boarding.

Jurien Bay Boat HarbourThe Jurien Bay Boat Harbour, managed by the Department of Transport (DoT) contains 69 boat pens, four service jetties, a four-lane boat ramp, a public beach and boat maintenance facilities, as well as toilets and car park.

Fees are payable for use of small boat harbours throughout the State. The Schedule of marine fees and charges provides detailed information regarding slipway charges, pens, berthing, swing moorings and wharfage fees at Jurien Bay Boat Harbour, and can be found on our website.

All vessels wishing to use pens or service jetties should advise the facility manager or Geraldton DoT office prior to arrival. Upon arrival please visit the DoT office to complete all relevant documentation and facilitate payment.

It is a condition of use that all users are to comply with the gas, electrical and insurance requirements.

Reduce washDamage to vessels and floating pen jetties can be caused by a vessel’s wash. Look behind you occasionally to make sure that your boat is not creating too much wash. If your wash is affecting other boats and property, slow down!

Vessels less than 3.75 metresVessels less than 3.75 metres in length can not be taken greater than five nautical miles from the mainland shore. However, you can operate the vessel within one nautical mile of an island located more than five nautical miles from the mainland shore.

International Code flag "A"

Navigation LightsAll vessels underway between the hours of sunset and sunrise must carry navigation lights appropriate to the particular size and type of vessel. For further information, refer to the WA Boating Guide or contact Marine Safety.

Navigation lightsAll vessels underway during the hours of sunset to sunrise must display navigation ligths appropriate to the particular size and type of vessel. For further information please visit our website or call 13 11 56.

Diving flag Any boat with divers operating from it must always display signals by day or night to alert other boat users. The daytime signal for divers is an International Code Flag “A”. The flag must be at least 750mm long and 600mm wide.

Divers operating without a vessel, for example from a jetty, must also display the International Code Flag “A”. The flag must be at least 750mm long and 600mm wide.

Divers not operating from a vessel or jetty can display a flag from a buoy. If displayed from a buoy, the flag must not be less than 300mm long and 200mm wide.

The flag must be clearly visible to all vessels operating in the vicinity.

Paddle craftRecreational canoes, kayaks, surf skis, inflatables or similar paddle craft that are propelled by a person using a paddle must comply with WA marine laws.

To get a brochure and sticker about the rules call 13 11 56 or visit our website.

Windsurfing and kitesurfingWith the onset of the sea breeze windsurfers and kitesurfers congregate at many popular locations. In certain conditions these small, fast moving sailing vessels may be difficult to see and people navigating the coast need to maintain a proper lookout at all times and take appropriate action to avoid collisions.

Safety equipmentKite and windsurfers operating more than 400 metres from shore are now required to carry safety equipment. For further information visit our website.

Prevention of collision All windsurfers and kitesurfers have a duty of care to ensure their activities are conducted with regard to the prevailing conditions and circumstances and take appropriate action to avoid collisions.

Personal water craftTo operate a personal water craft (PWC) at a speed greater than 8 knots you must be at least 16 years of age and hold an RST.

Every person on board a PWC must wear a lifejacket at all times and at times carry safety equipment:

• Within 400 metres of the shore – lifejacket Level 150, 100 or 50/50s

• Between 400 metres and 2 n miles from shore – lifejacket Level 100 or 150 only and an in date inshore distress flare kit

• Between 2 and 5 n miles – level 100 or 150 only and an in date inshore distress flare kit and emergency position indicating radio beacon (EPIRB).

Freestyle and wake jumping is prohibited:

• within any speed restricted area;

• within 30 metres of another PWC;

• within 50 metres of another vessel or person in the water.

Water skiingPWC may operate when towing a water skier. When towing a water skier all vessels are required to carry an observer of at least 14 years of age. Observers must also wear a lifejacket.

PWC not engaged in water skiing must at all times remain well clear of the take off and landing area and any vessels engaged in water skiing.

Water skiing involves being towed over water at a speed of 8 knots or more by a motor boat supported on the surface by a ski or skis, an aquaplane or other apparatus, or your feet.

It takes at least three people to go water skiing:

1. A driver of at least 17 years of age with a Recreational Skipper’s Ticket (RST).

2. An observer of at least 14 years of age.

3. The person being towed by the vessel.

Vessels taking off with skiers always give way to vessels landing a skier.

Beach take-off and landings are only permitted in the designated take-off and landing areas.

Skiing is only permitted between the hours of sunrise to sunset, unless otherwise indicated.
