“Roads and Maritime Services will promote safe and responsible boating at this year’s Greek Festival of Sydney, which will take place at Darling Harbour on Sunday”, as ‘yachte.com’ reports.
“Boating Safety Officers will be on hand at the festival to promote boating safety and the importance of lifejackets,” Acting General Manager of Maritime Operations, Trevor Williams said.
“Whether people are into fishing boats, personal watercraft or any other type of craft, the skipper is responsible for the safety of their craft and all on board.”
“The majority of boaters, and that includes people on personal watercraft, are responsible but there is a minority who either ignore or become complacent about safety”.
Mr Williams said the Take it Easy campaign complemented the ongoing Maritime safety compliance and education program.
Maritime is collaborating with Cultural Partners Australia, who specialise in working with culturally diverse communities, in the Take it Easy safety education campaign.
