Details:

Mariners are advised that the navigation channel at the entrance to Werribee River has narrowed due to sand build up at approximate location: 37°58.393’S, 144°41.206’E (WGS84).
 
A sand spit has formed opposite Werribee South Jetty and is building northwards towards the navigation channel.  Sand has also built up under the low landing at the eastern end of Werribee South Jetty, making it unsuitable for berthing.
 
Dredging will be undertaken as soon as practicable.
 
Mariners should exercise caution when approaching and passing Werribee South Jetty or other vessels in that vicinity.
