Proposed jet-ski rule changes in Melbourne spark debate over safety zones and licensing amid rising collision risks.
Proposed changes to boating rules in Port Phillip Bay have sparked debate over jet-ski safety near Melbourne’s beaches, with calls to expand exclusion zones beyond the current 200-meter limit, especially on the Mornington Peninsula where it’s already 500 meters.
Safety advocates warn rising jet-ski use and beach crowds increase collision risks, while experienced riders argue boundary changes won’t stop reckless operators, urging stricter licensing and power limits for young riders.
Police issued around 300 infringement notices last summer, and officials emphasize ongoing reviews based on data and community input, though final decisions rest with state agencies.
