Better Boating Victoria, in partnership with the Lang Lang Foreshore Committee of Management are progressing plans for the future upgrade of the Lang Lang Point boat ramp.
Attention has now turned to finalising construction-ready designs and progressing the necessary approvals.
The construction-ready designs are being developed by experienced marine and civil engineers from FSC Range with advice and input from the Lang Lang Foreshore Committee of Management and key management agencies, local government and stakeholders including local recreational boaters and fishers.
The designs have been reviewed and a more efficient design has been identified that still achieves the upgrade objectives.

The Lang Lang boat ramp is located approximately an hour south-east of Melbourne on the shores of Western Port. The existing facility comprises a single lane concrete boat ramp which is in poor condition. It is a fair weather only ramp with a modest, unmarked gravel car park and a small fish cleaning table.
Key features of the upgrade will include
The key features of the proposed upgrade are expected to increase parking capacity and improve the efficiency and speed of vessel launching and retrieval by constructing a new and improved boat ramp and jetty. After construction, there will be two available ramp lanes at Lang Lang.
A town planning application has been submitted to Cardinia Shire Council and is under assessment. Subject to permits and approvals it is anticipated that construction works are due to occur in winter 2024.

Recreational boaters, fishers and members of the broader community provided feedback on the concept in August 2021. COVID restrictions at the time meant consultation occurred predominantly online. Feedback received through this process supported the concept but highlighted issues such as ongoing dredging, lighting and security, orientation of parking spaces and consideration of other user groups.
