Lifejacket Reforms

The rules governing the use of lifejackets on recreational vessels on all NSW navigable waters will be strengthened from 1 November 2010 to prevent loss of life on our waterways. These changes follow an extensive community consultation by Maritime.

Note: These lifejacket reforms DO NOT apply to commercial vessels in survey.
