Alterations to mooring design or location
An application must be submitted for approval when a permit holder wants to relocate their mooring tackle or to substantially alter the design of their mooring tackle in a way that will affect the current mooring swing pattern (e.g. from conventional mooring tackle to screw pin mooring).
To apply to alter your mooring design or location, an application must be completed and submitted to moorings@parks.vic.gov.au for approval. Please ensure that all requirements under the Mandatory Attachment Checklist are provided with the application. If these are not received, the application process cannot proceed.
