Upgrade works are underway to transform the Avalon Beach Boat Ramp, allowing for more community members to use the facility.
The $1.8 million project, funded by the reinvestment of boating licence and registration fees through Better Boating Victoria, is being delivered by the City of Greater Geelong.
The site is well utilised for recreational boating and fishing. When construction is expected to end in Spring (subject to weather conditions), the car park will have 36 Car and Trailer Unit spaces, new asphalt and line marking.
The two jetties are being extended to double the existing berthing capacity. Launching a boat will be even easier thanks to improvements to their configuration and structure.
Wave screens are also being rebuilt and replaced to provide greater protection to boaters during windy conditions.
The design of the Avalon Beach Boat Ramp Upgrade will reduce storm water runoff impacts to the surrounding environment.
The ramp remains closed during construction. Boaters can still launch at St Helens boat ramp to get out onto Corio Bay and Port Phillip.
