The BIA is calling upon all members of the boating community, from industry to the public and including boating media to help send a message to the NSW Government to stop its unfair, excessive and surprise move to increase boating fees by as much as 88 percent. The increases span fees for all boat and PWC licences, registrations and vessel moorings.
BIA represents hundreds of mostly family businesses and thousands of people employed in the sector, and millions of everyday Australians who enjoy boating in all sorts of craft from “tinnies” to yachts.
The petition calls upon Transport for NSW to abandon this new approach to increase boating fees beyond CPI that include x2, x3 and even x15 times higher than CPI, making NSW fees the highest in the nation by a large margin, and even reaching the highest in the world.
