Great news. I have been waiting for this (as we all have).

I dont really see how the ramps will be any busier.. its not like people were using some secret free ramp and will now come to the regular ramps instead.
It will get busier because now people with no trailers will also start parking in the trailer park areas. Which also means you cannot launch as there's no place to.park your trailer.
It already happens at a lot ramps and it will only get worse..

My local ramp at portarlington has always been free. Not a fan of Altona to many aggressive fishermen there

Some people have no patience, I fish a lot by myself so I have to park the boat before moving the car which gives some people the ***** an extra 5 mins

Block them in. Reverse in and touch park the trailer into the car. It's been done at Morno plenty of times

Probably half the time I'm at the ramp before my mates to I launch solo and do the same.
Have to tie the boat up before gett8ng the car.

And noticed if you don't mess around and waste time, most people are patient
