Seymour – Manners Street

Getting out onto the Goulburn River at Seymour will be made easier with plans for an upgrade to the Manners St boat ramp.

Better Boating Victoria (BBV) is working with Mitchell Shire Council and local boaters on plans for an upgrade to the Manners St boat ramp in Lions Park. Click here to view the concept.

Consultation has closed and the reuslts will be available soon.

There is currently a single lane concrete ‘geomesh’ boat ramp which has deteriorated over time, an adjacent rock wall immediately upstream of the ramp which provides some protection from higher velocities river flow periods, and a fixed jetty downstream of the boat ramp which provides little benefit to boaters due to the height and wide concrete footings.

What’s Been Happening?

The Victorian Recreational Boating Strategy identified the need for an upgrade to the Manners St boat ramp at Seymour. In early 2023 Better Boating Victoria engaged engineers from Confluence Group to work on a concept plan for a future upgrade to the boat ramp.

BBV and the engineers have met with Mitchell Shire Council, DEECA and local fishers and boaters to develop the current concept in preparation for opening up to public consultation.

What’s Happening Next?

Consultation ran between February and March 2024. Submissions will be reviewed and where possible incorporated into the final concept design. BBV will then continue to progress designs to facilitate future improvements.
