Introduction

A private mooring licence is an annual licence that allows you to moor your vessel on navigable waters. If you've bought a vessel that has this licence and you want to transfer ownership of the licence to you, you'll need to lodge an application.

Transfer of a private mooring licence is subject to conditions and approval by Transport for NSW.

Eligibility

You must have bought the vessel and its associated mooring apparatus, and be the registered owner of the vessel.

More information

  • The licence can be transferred if the vessel is moored in a non priority waiting list area.
  • If the vessel is moored in a priority waiting list area, only the legal or de facto spouse named as the beneficiary in the will of the deceased licence holder can transfer the licence, and they must be at least the equal majority shareholder of the vessel. If the vessel is retained by a beneficiary other than the legal or de facto spouse, a maximum of 12 months applies.
