Metung – Shaving Point Boat Ramp

Metung - Shaving Point Boat Ramp: Located at Shaving Point on Metung Road in Metung, this facility provides access to Bancroft Bay on the Gippsland Lakes. It consists of a dual-lane concrete ramp with an adjoining concrete turning apron that was fully resurfaced in 2023. Staging and boarding infrastructure features a floating pontoon on the western side of the ramp designed to offer all-abilities access, along with a fixed timber jetty on the eastern side that was replaced with a new structure equipped with integrated wave screens. Critical hazards and tidal limits include vulnerability to local sand accumulation on the ramp and open exposure to heavy chop and wind-driven sea states across Bancroft Bay, which are highly influenced by strong south-westerly and easterly winds.
