Budgewoi Lake: Exclusive Use this Sunday

Roads and Maritime Services has granted an exclusive use aquatic licence for the safe staging of power boat races at Budgewoi Lake this Sunday (12 Feb).

Maritime Services Acting Regional Manager Hawkesbury/ Broken Bay Hendrik Clasie said boaters should keep clear of the south east corner of the lake, south of Bluff Point between 10am and 5pm.

“This area will be used exclusively for the safe staging of power boat races,” Mr Clasie said.

“For safety reasons, skippers should keep clear of this area as it will be restricted for the event and patrolled by control vessels.”

Mr Clasie said unauthorised vessels would not be permitted to enter the exclusive use area unless authorised by event organisers, a Maritime Boating Safety Officer or a Police Officer.
