Our crews have been working around the clock for the past few months following the River Murray floods to survey the river, marking or removing hazards and debris but it’s an ongoing exercise so we are asking everyone on the river this summer to be mindful of hazards that may still emerge.

In this segment, we hear from Gordon Panton, Manager Marine Safety and Compliance and Simon Schwerdt, Unit Manager, Boating Safety and Compliance.
