Waterway recreation patterns, towed sports and vessel technologies have developed quickly in the last decade. Maritime Safety Victoria (MSV) provides State and Local rules that apply to Bridgewater Lakes. The Department of Energy, Environment & Climate Action (DEECA) is appointed as the local waterway manager.
DEECA is reviewing the waterway rules that have been in place since 2012. Maritime Safety Victoria (MSV) provides Waterway Audits to assist local waterway managers to refine existing rules and ensure safe boating.
