The state government released its Victorian Recreational Boating Strategy this week, which will boost investment and infrastructure until 2030 for Melton and Moorabool residents.

The strategy is the first of its kind with Better Boating Victoria leading the development in a co-design process with boating stakeholders over the past year.

The strategy outlines priorities identified by boaters through extensive consultation, including drop-in sessions at key boating locations. A ministerial roundtable was also created to inform the strategy and included industry leaders.

Fishing and Boating Minister Melissa Horne said: “The development of this strategy through consultation with boaters ensures our unprecedented investment is funding the right projects in the right places.”

“Boaters told us what their priorities were in their regions, and the strategy has acted on that feedback to make boating even better across Victoria – whether it be cheaper, safer or more accessible boating.”
