Introduction

A private mooring licence permits you to moor your vessel on navigable waters. A mooring licence isn't a lease of the seabed and there's no guarantee of tenure. The position of the site is decided at the discretion of Transport for NSW.

It's the responsibility of a mooring contractor to ensure that the mooring and its location are suitable for each vessel.

Eligibility

  • the vessel licensed to the mooring is 5.2 metres or more in length
  • the vessel is currently registered in NSW in the name of the applicant
  • the applicant is the sole owner or at least equal or majority shareholder of the vessel.
