Swan River Trust
The Swan River Trust works closely with the
community, businesses, and local and State
government agencies to protect and improve
the ecological health and long-term community
benet of the Swan Canning Riverpark.
Boating to keep our rivers healthy
Take care to minimise your boatwash. Wash can damage
shorelines, injure people, disturb nesting and feeding birds,
damage moored boats and interfere with other peoples enjoyment
of the Riverpark.
Take home your tenders, dinghies and boats or use a Trust
approved storage facility. Leaving them on the foreshore can
damage vegetation and prevent access to shorelines.
Prevent antifouling and cleaning agents, paint, solvents and
other chemicals from polluting the Riverpark. Make sure you
only undertake boat maintenance in areas where harmful residues
can be collected and disposed of properly.
Launch and retrieve your boat, tenders or other watercraft
without disturbing riverside vegetation or damaging
riverbanks. Boats may only be launched from trailers at the
boat ramps shown in this Boating Guide. Riverside plants play
an important part in keeping the Riverpark healthy. They provide
shelter for native wildlife, prevent erosion and help keep banks
stable. Riverside plants help lter out the nutrients that can trigger
algal blooms.
Make sure fuel and oil never go into the rivers by keeping your
engine serviced. Install and regularly change an oil absorbent
bilge mat. Refuel carefully and clean up any spillages. This will
save you money and protect the Riverparks health. Fuel and oil
can harm or kill aquatic plants and animals.
Always take care to avoid disturbing wildlife. Travelling at
high speed in the Riverpark stresses birds and interferes with
their feeding activities. Four-wheel drives can damage foreshore
vegetation, so leave your vehicle on the road and protect wildlife
habitat.
Take your rubbish with you. Store it on board and dispose
of it properly in bins or take it home. Litter destroys the scenic
beauty of the Riverpark, plastic can injure wildlife and broken glass
is a hazard.
Only anchor in areas clear of seagrass and never tie up to
shoreline trees. Use the red courtesy moorings provided by
the Swan River Trust. Their locations are shown in this boating
guide, but remember there is a four hour limit between 7am and
7pm. Careless mooring and tying up to trees damages shoreline
and riverbed vegetation.
Report activities that may be harmful to the Riverpark by calling
the Swan River Trust on (08) 9278 0900 or after hours 0419 192
845. There are penalties for polluting the Swan and Canning
rivers or damaging foreshore vegetation.

Swan River Trust
The Swan River Trust works closely with the
community, businesses, and local and State
government agencies to protect and improve
the ecological health and long-term community
benet of the Swan Canning Riverpark.
Boating to keep our rivers healthy
Take care to minimise your boatwash. Wash can damage
shorelines, injure people, disturb nesting and feeding birds,
damage moored boats and interfere with other peoples enjoyment
of the Riverpark.
Take home your tenders, dinghies and boats or use a Trust
approved storage facility. Leaving them on the foreshore can
damage vegetation and prevent access to shorelines.
Prevent antifouling and cleaning agents, paint, solvents and
other chemicals from polluting the Riverpark. Make sure you
only undertake boat maintenance in areas where harmful residues
can be collected and disposed of properly.
Launch and retrieve your boat, tenders or other watercraft
without disturbing riverside vegetation or damaging
riverbanks. Boats may only be launched from trailers at the
boat ramps shown in this Boating Guide. Riverside plants play
an important part in keeping the Riverpark healthy. They provide
shelter for native wildlife, prevent erosion and help keep banks
stable. Riverside plants help lter out the nutrients that can trigger
algal blooms.
Make sure fuel and oil never go into the rivers by keeping your
engine serviced. Install and regularly change an oil absorbent
bilge mat. Refuel carefully and clean up any spillages. This will
save you money and protect the Riverparks health. Fuel and oil
can harm or kill aquatic plants and animals.
Always take care to avoid disturbing wildlife. Travelling at
high speed in the Riverpark stresses birds and interferes with
their feeding activities. Four-wheel drives can damage foreshore
vegetation, so leave your vehicle on the road and protect wildlife
habitat.
Take your rubbish with you. Store it on board and dispose
of it properly in bins or take it home. Litter destroys the scenic
beauty of the Riverpark, plastic can injure wildlife and broken glass
is a hazard.
Only anchor in areas clear of seagrass and never tie up to
shoreline trees. Use the red courtesy moorings provided by
the Swan River Trust. Their locations are shown in this boating
guide, but remember there is a four hour limit between 7am and
7pm. Careless mooring and tying up to trees damages shoreline
and riverbed vegetation.
Report activities that may be harmful to the Riverpark by calling
the Swan River Trust on (08) 9278 0900 or after hours 0419 192
845. There are penalties for polluting the Swan and Canning
rivers or damaging foreshore vegetation.

Swan River Trust
The Swan River Trust works closely with the
community, businesses, and local and State
government agencies to protect and improve
the ecological health and long-term community
benet of the Swan Canning Riverpark.
Boating to keep our rivers healthy
Take care to minimise your boatwash. Wash can damage
shorelines, injure people, disturb nesting and feeding birds,
damage moored boats and interfere with other peoples enjoyment
of the Riverpark.
Take home your tenders, dinghies and boats or use a Trust
approved storage facility. Leaving them on the foreshore can
damage vegetation and prevent access to shorelines.
Prevent antifouling and cleaning agents, paint, solvents and
other chemicals from polluting the Riverpark. Make sure you
only undertake boat maintenance in areas where harmful residues
can be collected and disposed of properly.
Launch and retrieve your boat, tenders or other watercraft
without disturbing riverside vegetation or damaging
riverbanks. Boats may only be launched from trailers at the
boat ramps shown in this Boating Guide. Riverside plants play
an important part in keeping the Riverpark healthy. They provide
shelter for native wildlife, prevent erosion and help keep banks
stable. Riverside plants help lter out the nutrients that can trigger
algal blooms.
Make sure fuel and oil never go into the rivers by keeping your
engine serviced. Install and regularly change an oil absorbent
bilge mat. Refuel carefully and clean up any spillages. This will
save you money and protect the Riverparks health. Fuel and oil
can harm or kill aquatic plants and animals.
Always take care to avoid disturbing wildlife. Travelling at
high speed in the Riverpark stresses birds and interferes with
their feeding activities. Four-wheel drives can damage foreshore
vegetation, so leave your vehicle on the road and protect wildlife
habitat.
Take your rubbish with you. Store it on board and dispose
of it properly in bins or take it home. Litter destroys the scenic
beauty of the Riverpark, plastic can injure wildlife and broken glass
is a hazard.
Only anchor in areas clear of seagrass and never tie up to
shoreline trees. Use the red courtesy moorings provided by
the Swan River Trust. Their locations are shown in this boating
guide, but remember there is a four hour limit between 7am and
7pm. Careless mooring and tying up to trees damages shoreline
and riverbed vegetation.
Report activities that may be harmful to the Riverpark by calling
the Swan River Trust on (08) 9278 0900 or after hours 0419 192
845. There are penalties for polluting the Swan and Canning
rivers or damaging foreshore vegetation.

The Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST)
Who needs an RST?
The person in charge of a vessel with a motor
greater than 6hp (4.5 kilowatts) must hold an
RST.
Age requirements and restrictions
To operate a non RST vessel
A person in charge of a recreational vessel with a motor of
6hp (4.5 kilowatts) or less is not required to hold an RST.
Persons under 10 years may not drive a motor boat.
To operate an RST vessel
A person in charge of a recreational vessel with a motor greater
than 6hp (4.5 kilowatts) is required to hold an RST.
Persons over 14 and under 16 years of age are restricted to
operating during daylight hours and at a speed less than 8 knots.
Will you be able to use your RST in other States?
The RST is based on nationally agreed basic marine safety
standards and in principle should be recognised in other States/
jurisdictions. However, when travelling outside of Western
Australia, it is recommended that skippers contact the local
authority to ensure they meet the requirements.
Where can you be assessed?
A network of RST authorised providers and their assessors has
been established and they are located throughout the State. A list
of providers can be found on the Departments website: www.
transport.wa.gov.au/imarine or can be sent to you by contacting
the Department on 1300 863 308.
Personal water craft
A personal water craft (PWC) often called a jet ski is a craft
propelled by an inboard motor powering a water jet pump. The
operator sits, stands or kneels and uses handlebars to steer it.
A person must be at least 16 years of age and hold a
Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST) to operate a PWC at a
speed in excess of 8 knots.
People over 14 and under 16 years of age that hold an RST may
operate any recreational vessel, during daylight hours only and
at a speed of 8 knots or less.
PWCs and similar craft are powerboats as far as the rules are
concerned. This means there are rules on the age of drivers, the
distance offshore they can operate, equipment to be carried,
speed limits and so on. There are, however, a few extra rules
and a few concessions that apply to PWCs.
Safety equipment
Every person on board a PWC must wear a personal otation
device (PFD) at all times:
within 400 metres of the shore it can be a PFD Level 150,
100, 50 or 50s;
between 400 metres and 2 nautical miles from shore in
unprotected waters a PFD Level 150 or 100 must be worn.
An in date inshore distress are kit, in serviceable condition
must also be carried;
between 2 and 5 nautical miles, a PFD Level 100 or 150
must be worn. An in date inshore distress are kit and an
in date registered 406 MHz EPIRB, in serviceable condition
must also be carried; and
vessels under 3.75 metres are not permitted more than 5
nautical miles offshore.
Freestyling, wake and wave jumping
Freestyling is driving a PWC in such a way that the driver of
another vessel would be unable to predict its course and speed
in order to avoid a collision.
Wave and wake jumping is driving a PWC over a wave or swell
with the aim of becoming airborne. The wave or the swell may
be formed naturally or by the passage of a vessel.
Freestyling and wake jumping is prohibited:
within any speed restricted area;
within 30 metres of another PWC;
within 50 metres of another vessel or person in the water;
and
in the Swan Canning Riverpark except in the designated
personal watercraft freestyle driving area in South Perth.
Water skiing
The rules that apply to power boats also apply to boats towing
skiers. There are also some extra rules:
a person shall not drive a motor boat towing a skier before
8am and after sundown, in the waters of the Swan River or
before 9am and after sunset in the waters of the Canning
River
deep water take-offs only, except in ski take-off areas; and
the prevention of collision rules still apply in ski areas. This
means a ski boat has no priority over a boat that is passing
through the area.
General ski area information
In the Swan Canning Riverpark, you may only ski within gazetted
ski areas and between times allowed for that area. Ski areas
are marked by signs on the foreshore and some also have their
boundaries marked by buoys in the water.
Most ski areas will also have a pictorial sign describing the rules
and regulations that are particular to the area i.e. must ski in an
anti clockwise direction.
Water skiing rules and regulations
Age of person in charge
The person in charge of the boat must be at least 17 years old
and hold an RST. There must also be an observer on board, at
least 14 years old, who constantly watches the skier.
Right of way
A boat landing a skier has right of way over a boat towing a skier
taking-off.
Distance behind a skier
You must not drive any closer than 45 metres directly behind a
skier or any other boat.
Trick skiing
Trick skiing is prohibited within 90 metres of any take-off and
landing areas.
Distance from shore
Stay at least 45 metres (or as gazetted) from shore except when
landing or taking-off a skier in a gazetted take-off and landing
area.

The Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST)
Who needs an RST?
The person in charge of a vessel with a motor
greater than 6hp (4.5 kilowatts) must hold an
RST.
Age requirements and restrictions
To operate a non RST vessel
A person in charge of a recreational vessel with a motor of
6hp (4.5 kilowatts) or less is not required to hold an RST.
Persons under 10 years may not drive a motor boat.
To operate an RST vessel
A person in charge of a recreational vessel with a motor greater
than 6hp (4.5 kilowatts) is required to hold an RST.
Persons over 14 and under 16 years of age are restricted to
operating during daylight hours and at a speed less than 8 knots.
Will you be able to use your RST in other States?
The RST is based on nationally agreed basic marine safety
standards and in principle should be recognised in other States/
jurisdictions. However, when travelling outside of Western
Australia, it is recommended that skippers contact the local
authority to ensure they meet the requirements.
Where can you be assessed?
A network of RST authorised providers and their assessors has
been established and they are located throughout the State. A list
of providers can be found on the Departments website: www.
transport.wa.gov.au/imarine or can be sent to you by contacting
the Department on 1300 863 308.
Personal water craft
A personal water craft (PWC) often called a jet ski is a craft
propelled by an inboard motor powering a water jet pump. The
operator sits, stands or kneels and uses handlebars to steer it.
A person must be at least 16 years of age and hold a
Recreational Skippers Ticket (RST) to operate a PWC at a
speed in excess of 8 knots.
People over 14 and under 16 years of age that hold an RST may
operate any recreational vessel, during daylight hours only and
at a speed of 8 knots or less.
PWCs and similar craft are powerboats as far as the rules are
concerned. This means there are rules on the age of drivers, the
distance offshore they can operate, equipment to be carried,
speed limits and so on. There are, however, a few extra rules
and a few concessions that apply to PWCs.
Safety equipment
Every person on board a PWC must wear a personal otation
device (PFD) at all times:
within 400 metres of the shore it can be a PFD Level 150,
100, 50 or 50s;
between 400 metres and 2 nautical miles from shore in
unprotected waters a PFD Level 150 or 100 must be worn.
An in date inshore distress are kit, in serviceable condition
must also be carried;
between 2 and 5 nautical miles, a PFD Level 100 or 150
must be worn. An in date inshore distress are kit and an
in date registered 406 MHz EPIRB, in serviceable condition
must also be carried; and
vessels under 3.75 metres are not permitted more than 5
nautical miles offshore.
Freestyling, wake and wave jumping
Freestyling is driving a PWC in such a way that the driver of
another vessel would be unable to predict its course and speed
in order to avoid a collision.
Wave and wake jumping is driving a PWC over a wave or swell
with the aim of becoming airborne. The wave or the swell may
be formed naturally or by the passage of a vessel.
Freestyling and wake jumping is prohibited:
within any speed restricted area;
within 30 metres of another PWC;
within 50 metres of another vessel or person in the water;
and
in the Swan Canning Riverpark except in the designated
personal watercraft freestyle driving area in South Perth.
Water skiing
The rules that apply to power boats also apply to boats towing
skiers. There are also some extra rules:
a person shall not drive a motor boat towing a skier before
8am and after sundown, in the waters of the Swan River or
before 9am and after sunset in the waters of the Canning
River
deep water take-offs only, except in ski take-off areas; and
the prevention of collision rules still apply in ski areas. This
means a ski boat has no priority over a boat that is passing
through the area.
General ski area information
In the Swan Canning Riverpark, you may only ski within gazetted
ski areas and between times allowed for that area. Ski areas
are marked by signs on the foreshore and some also have their
boundaries marked by buoys in the water.
Most ski areas will also have a pictorial sign describing the rules
and regulations that are particular to the area i.e. must ski in an
anti clockwise direction.
Water skiing rules and regulations
Age of person in charge
The person in charge of the boat must be at least 17 years old
and hold an RST. There must also be an observer on board, at
least 14 years old, who constantly watches the skier.
Right of way
A boat landing a skier has right of way over a boat towing a skier
taking-off.
Distance behind a skier
You must not drive any closer than 45 metres directly behind a
skier or any other boat.
Trick skiing
Trick skiing is prohibited within 90 metres of any take-off and
landing areas.
Distance from shore
Stay at least 45 metres (or as gazetted) from shore except when
landing or taking-off a skier in a gazetted take-off and landing
area.
