Second consultation period

A second consultation period was held from 2 August 2024 to 6 September 2024.

Feedback from more than 1,100 community members and interested organisations provided valuable input in developing the final Strategy.

Final strategy

We released South Australia's Recreational Boating Safety Strategy 2025-2030 in January 2025.

The strategy is a five-year plan that focuses on improving safety for recreational boaters and others who share our state's coastal and inland waters.

We will continue to collaborate with marine safety partners and the community to progress these actions.
