Boating Guide Swan Canning Riverpark Marine Safety
Recreational Skipper’s TicketThe person in charge of a recreational vessel with a motor of 6hp (4.5 kilowatts) or less is not required to hold a Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST). A person in charge of a recreational vessel with a motor greater than 6hp (4.5 kilowatts) is required to hold a RST. You are required to carry your RST card when boating.
Age restrictionsA person under 10 years may not drive a motor boat. RST holders over 14 but under 16 years of age are restricted to operating during daylight hours at a speed less than 8 knots.
How to get an RSTIf you would like to get a RST you will need to pass an assessment delivered by an RST provider. The RST provider may also conduct training, but this is not compulsory. You can choose to study on your own, using the RST Workbook, and take the assessment only.
Once you pass, the RST provider will issue you an RST Interim Certificate. Your RST card will be sent to you through the mail, once your details have been received and processed by the Department of Transport (DoT).
RST skills recognition and equivalentsIf you hold a qualification from another state or country that is equivalent to the RST, or have a commercial certificate of competency, you may be eligible for exemption from the RST assessment and can receive an RST through skills recognition.For more information visit our website - www.transport.wa.gov.au/rst
Kite SafeAll windsurfers and kitesurfers have a duty of care to ensure their activities are conducted with regard to the prevailing conditions and circumstances and to avoid collisions.
Kite and windsurfers operating more than 400 metres from shore in unprotected waters must carry safety equipment. Visit our website for more information.
Paddle SafeRecreational canoes, kayaks, surf skis, inflatables or similar paddle craft that are propelled by a person using a paddle must comply with WA marine laws. Visit our website for more information.
Personal water craftPersonal water craft (PWC) – often called jet skis – are craft propelled by an inboard motor powering a water jet pump. The operator sits, stands or kneels on the vessel.
PWCs and similar craft are powerboats as far as the rules are concerned. This means there are rules for the age of skippers, safety equipment, areas they can operate and the distance offshore they can speed.
Requirements for skippers of PWCsEvery skipper of a PWC must hold a Recreational Skipper’s Ticket (RST). A skipper who is older than 14 but under 16 years of age with an RST may operate a PWC but only during daylight hours and at a maximum speed of 8 knots.
Safety equipment Every person on board a PWC must wear a lifejacket at all times:
• within protected waters or within 400 metres of the shore in unprotected waters a lifejacket Level 150, 100, or 50 / 50S must be worn;
• between 400 metres and 2 nautical miles from shore in unprotected waters a lifejacket Level 100 or 150 must be worn. You must also carry an in date inshore distress flare kit in serviceable condition;
• between 2 and 5 nautical miles a lifejacket Level 100 or 150 must be worn. An in date inshore distress flare kit and an in date, registered EPIRB must also be carried. Note – PWCs less than 3.75 metres in length shall not travel greater than 5 nautical miles from the mainland or 1 nautical mile from any island greater than 5 nautical miles from the mainland.
• PWCs greater than 3.75m traveling beyond 5 nautical miles of the shore must also carry, in addition to the above, a marine radio and two in date parachute distress flares.
Freestyling, wake and wave jumpingFreestyling is operating a PWC in a way that the skipper of another vessel would be unable to predict its course or speed in order to avoid a collision, this includes doughnuts,180 degree turns, hops and jumps etc.
Wave and wake jumping is driving a PWC over a wave or swell with the aim of becoming airborne. The wave or the swell may be formed naturally or by the passage of a vessel.Freestyling and wake jumping is prohibited:
• within any speed restricted area;
• within 30 metres of another PWC;
• within 50 metres of another vessel or person in the water; and
• in the Swan and Canning Riverpark except in the gazetted freestyle area downstream of the Narrows Bridge.
Water skiingWater skiing rules and regulationsWater skiing involves being towed over water at a speed of 8 knots or more by a motor boat supported on the surface by a ski or skis, an aquaplane or other apparatus, or your feet.
It takes at least three people to go water skiing:
1. A driver of at least 17 years of age with a RST.
2. An observer of at least 14 years of age
3. The person being towed by the vessel.
Vessels taking off with skiers always give way to vessels landing a skier.
Beach take off and landings are only permitted in the designated take-off and landing areas.
Distance behind a skierYou must not drive any closer than 50 metres directly behind a skier or any other boat.
Trick skiingTrick skiing is prohibited within 100 metres of any take-off and landing areas.
Distance from shoreStay at least 50 metres (or as gazetted) from shore except when landing or taking-off a skier in a gazetted take-off and landing area.
The rules that apply to power boats also apply to boats towing skiers. There are also some extra rules:
• a motor boat can’t tow a skier between sundown and 8am in the waters of the Swan River or before 9am and after sunset in the waters of the Canning River;
• deep water take-offs only, except in ski take-off areas; and
• collision rules still apply in ski areas. This means a ski boat has no priority over a boat that is passing through the area.
General ski area informationIn the Swan Canning Riverpark, you may only ski within gazetted ski areas and between times allowed for that area. Ski areas are marked by signs on the foreshore and some also have their boundaries marked by buoys in the water.
Most ski areas will also have a pictorial sign describing the rules and regulations that are particular to the area i.e. must ski in an anti clockwise direction.
Department of Parks and WildlifeParks and Wildlife works closely with the community, businesses, and local and State government agencies to protect and improve the ecological health and long-term community benefit of the Swan Canning Riverpark.
Boating to keep our rivers healthy• Take care to minimise your boatwash. Wash can damage
shorelines, injure people, disturb nesting and feeding birds, damage moored boats and interfere with other people’s enjoyment of the Riverpark.
• Take home your tenders, dinghies and boats or use an approved storage facility. Leaving vessels on the foreshore can damage vegetation and prevent access to shorelines.
• Prevent antifouling and cleaning agents, paint, solvents and other chemicals from polluting the Riverpark. Make sure you only undertake boat maintenance in areas where harmful residues can be collected and disposed of properly.
• Launch and retrieve your boat, tenders or other watercraft without disturbing riverside vegetation or damaging riverbanks. Boats may only be launched from trailers at the boat ramps shown in this Boating Guide. Riverside plants play an important part in keeping the Riverpark healthy. They provide shelter for native wildlife, prevent erosion and help keep river banks stable. Riverside plants help filter out the nutrients that can trigger algal blooms.
• Make sure fuel and oil never go into the rivers by keeping your engine serviced. Install and regularly change an oil absorbent bilge mat. Refuel carefully and clean up any spillages. This will save you money and protect the Riverpark’s health. Fuel and oil can harm or kill aquatic plants and animals.
• Always take care to avoid disturbing wildlife. Travelling at high speed in the Riverpark stresses birds and interferes with their feeding activities. Four-wheel drives can damage foreshore vegetation, so leave your vehicle on the road and protect wildlife habitat.
• Take your rubbish with you. Store it on board and dispose of it properly in bins or take it home. Litter destroys the scenic beauty of the Riverpark, plastic can injure wildlife and broken glass is a hazard.
• Only anchor in areas clear of seagrass and never tie up to shoreline trees. Use the red courtesy moorings provided by Parks and Wildlife. Courtesy mooring locations are shown in this boating guide, but remember there is a four hour limit between 7am and 7pm. Careless mooring and tying up to trees damages shoreline and riverbed vegetation.
Report activities that may be harmful to the Riverpark by calling Parks and Wildlife on (08) 9278 0900 or after hours 0419 192 845. There are penalties for polluting the Swan and Canning rivers or damaging foreshore vegetation.
