That is what it costs me to register my 10 foot tinnie. My yacht does not require a boat ramp, is flat out at 6 knots under power, is more environmentally friendly than my tinnie and costs me $300 a year to register.

How does that work????

I paid $103 last year in NSW, but I get it half price cause I'm getting old and have a small Veterans Affairs pension. No tinnie/tender rego here.

From the MSQ website ...... http://www.msq.qld.gov.au/Registration/Recreational-ships.aspx

Interstate and overseas registration Recreational ships with valid interstate or overseas registration can operate in Queensland.

Up to 1 year if the boat has current registration from a foreign country

While on interstate voyages if the boat has current registration from another state.

If you are just visiting Queensland you still need to comply with marine laws like speed limits and marine zones and so on. Check this website for details on what laws you have to follow when operating in Queensland. If your boat is over 15m in length, make sure you have ship insurance. If you move to Queensland from another state or territory, or your interstate or foreign registration expires, you must register the boat in Queensland.

The way I read that is that if you have interstate rego there is no requirement to have Qld. rego as well. The thing, I imagine is to maintain an interstate home address as well to support the interstate rego.

On tenders in Qld.
Tenders to registered recreational ships are exempt from registration if they are only used within 2 nautical miles of the parent ship and the tender is being used to transport people or provisions between the ship and the shore. This does not include fishing or sightseeing activities. The tender must be marked on the exterior with the word 'tender' and the parent ship registration numbers, at least 75mm high. If this is not possible, markings should be on the inside of the boat in the largest characters possible.

same web site as above

I had my previous boat registered in SA.
It was cheap and your home address can be anywhere in AUS .

Dingy rego is very confusing, each state has very different rules.
Just a few week ago try to register dingy in QLD.
3 HP outboard...no need to rego. / think they mention under 4 HP no rego /

Better send me a food voucher also Cisco

Registration requirement for tenders has got to be a revenue bluff. I am sure it could be argued down in a court of law.

Man has a natural law right to be a seafarer, farmer or city dweller and governments have no right or cause to charge taxes based on choice of way of living.

Phuck 'em I say.

with you living in Qld. you already are phuck'n em, your tender is free of rego.

As it should be in all Australian States and worldwide if the vessel in question is the primary in the transfer of crew from ship to shore.

I believe our government is trying to get rid of natural seafarers. It smacks too much of freedom for their petty minds to conceive of.

Thee and me are definitely on the same wave length with this topic.

Your conspiracy theories are giving governments far too much credit for rational decision making. They aren't that smart.

At least there is no wind tax (Yet)
