The installation of navigation lights at 30 of the most popular boat ramps at lakes around Tasmania has commenced with installation complete at Four Springs Lake.

The lights are a solar powered white beacon that have a range of 5 nautical miles in clear weather. The flashing lights activate at dusk and operate until dawn and will be placed to give the best possible visibility from the water to aid boaters find ramps in low light conditions. A full list of the light installations will be available upon completion (Early 2014) along with GPS coordinates for loading into on-board navigation aids as an extra back up.

These lights have been jointly funded by Hydro Tasmania and MAST with in –kind support from IFS for installation and maintenance. Please report any operation issues to IFS on 1300infish or infish@ifs.tas.gov.au
