Do not exceed 5 knots:

within 50 m of a person, vessel, fixed or floating structure and the shore on inland waters
within 50 m of a person, vessel, wharf, jetty, slipway, diving platform or boat ramp on coastal and enclosed waters
within 100 m of a dive flag
within 200 m of the shore on enclosed and coastal waters
or as per the scheduled waterway rules.

The rules already exist. They just need to blitz them till they get the message
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Go here and zoom in to see the PPB restricted zones and access lanes for PWCs
