* Provide a single set of mooring regulations to be administered across State waters.
* Establish a ‘classification’ system to clarify the use of moorings in different situations and to make administration easier.
* Consider the introduction of system to allow short-term casual use of vacant moorings including an opt-in system.
* Deliver improved administration.
* Prevent mooring site licences gaining proprietary value.
 
 
 
* The position paper outlines specific details about the proposed regulations. We’d now like to focus on a few of these.



PREVENTING MOORINGS GAINING PROPRIETARY VALUE

One of the proposals is to prevent moorings gaining proprietary value. This means there will be no transfers of mooring site licences between individuals. Instead licences will be relinquished to the Department of Transport (DoT) and reallocated via a wait list.

How likely would you be to join a wait list to obtain a mooring licence?
 
Very likely
 
Quite likely
 
Not that likely
 
Not at all likely
 
Don't know
 
 
 
Please explain the reasons behind your answer
   
 
 
 
* Whilst it is not a requirement to own a vessel to go on the wait list, DoT has proposed a period of three months to nominate a vessel on the notification of an offer of a mooring licence.

If you were on a waitlist and DoT notified you of an offer of a mooring licence do you think three months is an acceptable time frame in order to nominate a vessel to secure the mooring?
 
Yes
 
No
 
Don't know
 
 
 
SHORT-TERM CASUAL USE

The paper also proposes an opt-in short-term casual use system as a solution to maximise the access of vacant moorings and address the many moorings being left vacant for long periods of time. Under this system those vessel owners that choose to opt-in will have access to a range of moorings suitable to their vessel size when they’re not being utilised by the mooring licensee, but will not be permitted to leave or store their vessel on a mooring. A disc system, similar to that used successfully on Rottnest Island, will be used to clearly identify the maximum size that a short-term casual use vessel can access a mooring. Discs will be colour coded to indicate the permitted vessel length on the mooring.
 
 
* What do you see as the main advantages, if any, of adopting this opt-in short-term casual use system?
   
 
 
* What do you see as the main disadvantages, if any, of adopting this opt-in short-term casual use system?
   
 
 
 
* How likely would you be to use this opt-in short-term casual use system?
 
Very likely
 
Quite likely
 
Not that likely
 
Not at all likely
 
Don't know
 
 
 
* As the opt-in short-term casual use system and the introduction of rental moorings will be licensed, owned and managed by DoT, the current authorised user system could be discontinued. Which best describes your view on this proposed change?
 
I think it's a good idea
 
I think it's a bad idea
 
I don't think it will make much of a difference
 
I don't know
 
 
 
Please explain the reasons behind your answer
   
 
 
 
* SUBSTITUTION OF LICENSED VESSELS

On the sale or disposal of a licensed vessel, a mooring licensee has the opportunity to substitute a suitable vessel on their mooring licence within a three month period.

Do you think a period of three months is acceptable to nominate a vessel to a mooring?
 
Yes
 
No
 
Don't know
 
 
 
Do you have any additional comments to share about the proposed changes to mooring regulation?
