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 Blowering Dam, staged from a location known as The Pines, near the township of Tumut, between 8:00am and 4:00pm on Saturday, 11 and Sunday, 12 May 2024.
Exclusion zone
Due to the potential to affect the safety of navigation, Transport for NSW has granted Exclusive Use Aquatic Licence to David Warby to conduct the event, and an exclusion zone will be established on the navigable waters of Blowering Dam at varying times on the above dates. The exclusion zone will be declared by Authorised Officers on-site at varying times on each day and will be marked by course and Maritime control vessels. The exclusion zone may comprise the entirety of Blowering Dam, effectively closing the Dam between the above times and dates.
Due to the high speeds involved in the event, Transport for NSW urges all spectators to exercise extreme caution when in the vicinity, to be aware of the approaching vessel and likely exit routes in case of an emergency.
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).
