Show Notes

Joining us this week are Paul Kermode and Todd Graham from the authority responsible for safety in South Australian waters, the Department for Infrastructure and Transport.

During National Safe Boating week, they underline the importance of being safe out on our waterways, and remind boaties that anyone who operates a recreational vessel with an engine in South Australia, including a personal watercraft, is required to have a boat operator’s licence - even if the engine is not in use at the time. They also encourage members of the public to make sure that the vessel and conditions are suitable for trips on the water, and that the vessel carries the necessary safety equipment and meets all other regulatory requirements.
