Temporary notices to mariners

Temporary notices to mariners are designed to advise mariners of events that may present navigational difficulties, such as the installation of infrastructure (e.g. a new jetty being built, a harbour being developed or the installation of a navigation aid or an environmental monitoring station); dredging or other operations that can hinder the safe passage of vessels through that particular area; special events such as fireworks displays where boating is restricted; or changes to rules in a specific area such increased or decreased speed limits.

Temporary notices by region:

Temporary notices to mariners will contain details such as:

  • location;
  • type of activity;
  • time / duration of activity;
  • whether you can navigate in the area or whether there is no boating allowed for the duration of works; and
  • details of any special changes or rules.

The notice to mariners may also contain information whether machinery or infrastructure will be left in the location overnight.

Temporary notices to mariners are regularly published in the PUBLIC NOTICES section of State and local newspapers.

Notices to mariners

Notices to Mariners are produced to accompany the Department's nautical charts.Click here to view the notice to mariners page.
