The new boat ramps at Ocean Reef Marina are now open! They feature eight lanes – the most in the metropolitan area – and are the longest ramps in Perth, making launching easier and more accessible. A 108-metre stationary jetty also allows boats to be tied up safely, and smart boat ramp technology is planned for future implementation.
Additional features include
- The boat ramps incorporate floating pontoons that are the longest of any metropolitan boat ramps – 24 metres longer than the previous ones. Each pontoon is at least 65 metres long.
- The southern jetty includes a 108-metre floating extension for temporary mooring of vessels awaiting retrieval or for general short-term mooring.
- A lower-level landing at the end of the southern jetty will provide a safe point for launching kayaks and other personal watercraft.
- All jetties will be fitted with bespoke solar lighting along their full length, designed to illuminate the jetties without affecting visibility for reversing vehicles at night.
- The ramps have been extended to accommodate deep draft vessels, with the toe of each ramp positioned 0.5 metres deeper than the level recommended in the Australian Standard.
- Lanes 1–4 are retrieval only, while Lanes 5–8 are launch only, helping to streamline traffic flow and reduce congestion.
Minor works will continue over the next few weeks to install additional lighting, complete landscaping, and final touches. Over the coming months, some ramps will temporarily close to allow for final in water works. Please follow all signage during the short-term closures.
