Modern
makeover
for ramp
LOCAL GOVERNMENT
BY KATRINA LOVELL

Warrnambool

A MAJOR revamp of Warrnambool's boat
ramp was officially opened to boat users over
the weekend.
Better Boating Victoria director Katherine
Grech said boaters could again launch at
the new-look ramp which included modern
jetties which replaced the ageing structures.
"The jetties enable better tie-up points and
more protection for boaters when launching
and retrieving," she said.
"In addition, the existing two-lane ramp
surface has been replaced with grooved con-
crete slabs to provide more traction and rock
revetment alongside the ramp has been rein-
forced to reduce erosion and wave action.
"Dredging is also continuing in Lady Bay to
help reduce wave action, with work running
into mid-December before being paused
over the busy Christmas period."
Ms Grech said attention would soon turn
to how wave energy could be further reduced
at the ramp by working in conjunction with Mayor Debbie Arnott at the new-look boat ramp which has just undergone a major revamp. Dredging will continue throughout
the council. December to help with the wave surge on the structure. Picture by Anthony Brady
