VMBs at boat ramps

The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics (DIPL) is installing variable message boards (VMBs) at various Darwin boat ramps to help keep Territorians safe.

VMBs will be installed in a staged approach at Dinah Beach, East Arm, and Elizabeth River boat ramps, with works expected to be completed late August 2023.

The VMBs will encourage boaters to act responsibly while on the water and ensure they have the correct boat safety equipment. They will also enable information to be provided to boaters about safe boating, Darwin Harbour infrastructure projects, exclusion zones, special events and weather impacts.

A VMB was trialled at Dinah Beach boat ramp from October 2021.

Boat ramp users are asked to adhere to all traffic management and signage in the area during installation.
