Bent Street Ramp
It would appear that the city has a few issues getting this boat channel cleared. At the Safety Bay foreshore meeting last month the city manager in charged advised the attendees it would be dredged ready by the end of October. Latest news is that expressions of interest were called and that quotes were too high so it had to go to tender. The city came up with a plan to use the removed sand to a location off Shoalwater now instead of taking to landfill which has reduced the cost (good news) and we can expect that work will start within 2 weeks and be completed before 25th Dec. So we managed a couple of years ago with just 1 ramp so a little bit different witha very narrow / shallow channel it is what it is so lets be patient and no ramp rage please.

long point ramp
I emailed the council last year in regards to long point boat ramp isues. over crowding, crime rate as weve had a few issues a few times when launching early to go out wide, safety issues we counted 50 boats waiting to get in and out at peak period last year mixed in with swimmers, jetskiers and a bit of swell and chop was very dangerous. Surely there has to be a plan in rockingham for more ramps that are friendly for all users not just point peron

Point peron ramp
The PP ramp brings in to much revenue when it gets crowded and people have to find parking else were and then they get clobbered with parking fines big time.
If they put in ramps else were this wouldn't happen and they would lose a big chunk of revenue.
