• Saturday, 1 February 2025 – 8:00am to 12:00 midday

Special event

Vessel operators are advised that a Special Event pursuant to Section 12(2) of the Marine Safety Act 1998 is to be held on the waters of the Tomaga River between Mossy Point and Tomakin from 8:00am to 12:00 midday on Saturday, 1 February 2025.

Exclusion zone 

Due to the potential to affect the safety of navigation, Transport for NSW (TfNSW) have granted an Exclusive Use Aquatic Licence to Elite Energy Pty Ltd to conduct the event, and an Exclusion Zone (‘the Zone’) will be established on the navigable waters of the Tomaga River between the above times. 

The Zone will comprise the entire width of the navigable channel of the Tomaga River from the entrance to the estuary at Mossy Point, where the Tomaga River meets the Tasman Sea, upstream for approximately 2.5 kilometres to the Tomaga Bridge.

The Zone will be indicated by the presence of large inflatable buoys and also be monitored and maintained by the presence of control vessels.

Directions

Transport for NSW advises that in relation to the exclusion zone:

• Persons within the vicinity of the zone must comply with any directions given by any Boating Safety Officer or Police Officer in relation to the Special Event or to marine safety. Failure to comply with any such direction is an offence (Marine Safety Act 1998, s.15A - Maximum Penalty $3,300.00). 
• No unauthorised vessels or persons are permitted to enter the zone and to do so may be an offence (Marine Safety Act 1998, s.12(5) — Maximum Penalty $1,100.00).
