Torquay Boat Ramp
About this page
A new and improved Boat Ramp will be constructed in Torquay.
The new Torquay boat ramp will replace the existing ramp which, whilst still functional, is nearing the end of its useful life. The new ramp, which would be built on concrete piles similar to the existing structure, will continue to primarily function as a beach access ramp, with most launches occurring off hard sand. A side ramp is proposed to allow users to access hard sand for launching and retrieval in a range of tidal conditions.
Marine Safety Victoria will provide $749,000 towards the new and improved Torquay Boat Ramp. Funds will come from the Brumby Government's Boating Safety and Facility Program.
Through its Boating Safety and Facilities Program, Marine Safety Victoria provides funding for projects that improve boating safety and facilities. The Boating Safety and Facilities Program is funded by re-investing recreational boat operator licensing and vessel registration fees into projects that make boating safer and more accessible to more Victorians.
GORCC and Torquay Angling Club will also contribute funds to the project.
