Warneet Boat Ramp

Situated on Rutherford Parade within the Western Port Coastal Reserve at the mouth of the Rutherford Creek estuary, this facility provides access to Rutherford Inlet and Western Port. The infrastructure features a two-lane concrete ramp, with detailed designs in place under the Warneet Boating Precinct Plan to construct a third concrete ramp lane. Staging and boarding are facilitated by a central staging pontoon and the flanking Warneet North and South Jetties. Critical tidal hazards include surrounding mudflats and mangroves which restrict launching during low-tide cycles, while strong running currents make launching complex when busy.
