Re: St Kilda Marine Development:
Notice to all Kiters who use this area.
Parks Victoria is insisting that all Kiters MUST stay 20m away , either side, of the sand road truck access . Heavy fines will be enforced. ps up to maximum of $6000!!! so don't push your luck!!! ps part of the reason for this was a kiter observed jumping this sand road!!! There is plenty of area to Kite around this area so please keep the required distance. Thank you

They can quite easily apply this if they really want to so I wouldn't complain about the 20m:

From the standard laws while operating any vessel within the bay:

A speed limit of 5 knots (8kph) applies on all waters:
- within 50m of swimmers, other vessels and fixed or floating structures
- within 100m of divers/divers' flag

Could you please post the source of this information? I can't remember seeing any notices there and I'm unable to find any information regarding this on the Parks Website.

Cheers

Hi,

This direction from Parks Vic has come after a meeting was called last week to discuss the Marine Development and kiters / Boats / SUPs use of the area while the work is going on. While there are broader rules and regulations as Saffer points out for vessels (which includes kiters), this is a new directive for kiters. This will be followed up by signage in the next few weeks, but for now please stay the mandated distance away from the works.

For any queries or questions on this, you can reach out to us at KBV either at our email address or facebook page.

Thanks,
Derek

Tools included?

Yeah mate, applies to you too.

Is that 20m vertical seperation also ?[}:)]
So if you could boost 60m in length 20m in height should be sweet ?[}:)]
