Boat ramp officially opened

 

The new Patonga Boat Ramp was officially opened on Saturday, May 4, at 3pm.

Mayor Cr Robert Bell and Member for Peats, Ms Marie Andrews, opened the facility.

The project was undertaken jointly by the council and NSW Waterways asset development and management program.

The upgrade cost $224,000 and provided the boating community with a direct link to the Lower Hawkesbury and Broken Bay, according to Cr Bell.

"It serves groups such as the Patonga Commercial Fishing Fleet, NSW Sport and Recreation Broken Bay Centre and NSW Rural Fire Service."

The pier and beam style of construction minimised environmental impacts during construction and reduced the impact on foreshore sand migration, he said.
