In mooring grounds where Waiting Lists do not operate, permits for mooring/berthing sites may be transferred to a person of your preference. Transferring any existing mooring tackle is a private transaction between the two parties involved.

WAITING LISTS

To apply for a permit transfer, 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.

A permit is issued for a single nominated vessel of which the permit holder must be the sole owner or equal/majority shareholder of this vessel.

PERMIT TRANSFER APPLICATION

If the application is approved, you will be issued an invoice for the relevant fees. Upon payment of these fees, you will be issued a permit for your mooring. The new mooring holder is not permitted to occupy the site until the permit has been issued.
