Recreational boating in Tauranga Harbour ( & the lakes) is the wild west . You should need to be licenced to drive a boat as in Australia.

Let's have a mooring permit renewal system in BOP, ensuring boats are insured, seaworthy and well-maintained.

1 Strict enforcement of 5 knot rule and when passing boats 2 Registration of all vessels so rules enforceable. 3 Need more boat ramps

Moorings sold online ($10k+ online) don't benefit our community. Let's have fairer rules and a more transparent allocation system.

Low BOP mooring fees ($241.50pa) lead to derelict boats. Support fee increases to promote active vessel use.

Uninsured boats sinking in BOP harbor burden ratepayers. Let's push for mandatory insurance to protect our community!

Protect our harbor! Current mooring rules allow derelict boats to pose environmental and safety risks. Join the fight for change!

The number of boat users far exceeds the few swimmers. Also, having seen some very big sharks there recently, it's safer to swim at Baywave.

No need to change anything other than enforce people parking in boar ramp parks without trailers.

Do not add swim lanes as it impacts everyone else’s sports. Request swimmers wear floatation devices so they can be clearly identified.

Please don't add buoy lane clutter to the Harbour, keep it as natural as possible and patrol speeders.

Swim lane in the ocean has risks for mammals
