Just a reminder the point richards Rd boat ramp will close on Monday the 16th for 3 months while they put the new rock groyne in.
Queenscliff boat ramp is at least a month away from opening as well

Had a sticky nose at the Queenscliff ramp a few days ago.
Hum, my thought would be mid to late September to reopen
I hope im wrong as the Monster squid start to arrive the start of August

Must go and have a look myself . Question Dennis I have never launched my boat at St leonards it's a 650 haines I have always thought it a bit shallow for my boat what do you think

You be ok but you must use the 2 Ramps the Portarlington side not the Queenscliff side

Yeah the work looks solid, BetterBoating posted a drone photo on Instagram earlier this month, great progress!

Have the mentioned when they're doing St Leonards boat ramp? I swear I heard that some money was allocated.

Probably wouldn't make sense to start tearing it up while the other main ramps on the Bellarine are out of action.

Completely agree, had a quick look at the reason it sounded familiar was because there was recently a consultation period in April, and from that money allocated (off memory).

Pulled directly from BetterBoating,

Recreational boaters, fishers and members of the broader community were invited to complete a survey to enable us to better understand the issues and concerns that need to be considered in April, 2022. The results of that survey will be released and further updates provided as the project progresses to the design phase.

I went Monday they blocked the road off and started excavating the sand where the rock groyne starts I went down today. They are getting a move on the old original pier has been removed and truck after truck has been delivering rocks. The groyne will be wide enough for an excavator to come and dredge the entrance. It will become another landbased fishing spot

Good news all around as long as they don't shut st.leonards at the same time
