Overview
The Boating Now grants program is improving maritime infrastructure and facilities across NSW to give recreational and commercial boaters better and safer access to NSW waterways.
Improvements to infrastructure such as jetties, wharves and boat ramps also supports important coastal industries and tourism.
The program has already funded more than 200 projects to improve the boating experience across NSW.
Boating Now funding comes from boating licence, registration and other fees collected by Transport for NSW.
The NSW Government allocated $28 million to Boating Now Round 3.
