About the SA Boating Facility Advisory Committee
Section 90A of the Harbors and Navigation Act 1993 provides for a Facilities Fund (Fund) which consists of levies payable on the registration of a vessel. The Fund is used to establish, maintain and improve facilities used by vessels in this State. It is administered by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport.
The SABFAC is established under the Harbors and Navigation Regulations 2023 to advise the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport (Minister) on any variation of the amounts of the facilities levies and the application of the Fund.
Most public boating facilities are owned, built, operated and maintained by Councils which apply for funding to assist with establishing, maintaining and improving boating facilities. SABFAC assesses these funding applications, in light of the South Australian Boating Facilities Strategic Plan and makes recommendations to the Minister for contributions from the Fund towards projects.
Visit the Department for Infrastructure and Transport for more information on the SA Boating Facilities.
