Inverloch

Construction-ready designs are being drawn up for a future upgrade of boating facilities at Inverloch.

In 2021, recreational boaters, fishers and members of the community provided feedback on a concept to guide the redevelopment of the Inverloch boat ramp.

The ramp is a fair weather, two-lane ramp located within the town of Inverloch on the shores of Anderson Inlet. Boaters can launch at Inverloch to access Bass Strait and Western Port.

The ramp has formal parking available for approximately 24 cars with trailers and is predominantly used by fishers as well as some other recreational boaters.

The proposed upgrade will make launching and retrieval easier.

Key features of the designs being considered include:

• A new jetty to provide temporary berthing for more efficient launching and retrieval of boats
• Additional car and trailer parks on grassed overflow area
• New wave screens on jetties to reduce wave energy
• Dedicated boat preparation area within car park to draw traffic away from the ramps and reduce congestion

A final concept design has been developed based on boaters’ feedback. Click here to view the final concept.

Recreational boaters, fishers and members of the broader community provided feedback on the concept late in 2021.

The Victorian Government has made all boat ramps in Victoria free for all Victorians to enjoy and Better Boating Victoria are currently progressing the biggest boat ramp infrastructure upgrade in Victoria’s history with a dedicated new $33m Better Boating Fund.
