Heads up if your launching at hillarys
Submitted by uncle on Sun, 2021-10-10 10:11
You can no longer take the first left after the roundabout, you need to go down and turn left at the marine and harbor building, it was a real cluster...k this morning, most boats taking the first left and having to circle back through the car parks where there was a meeting for mustangs, don’t know the reason for the change.

Its been that way for a while
Its all about not congesting the roundabout during peak times.
The idea is to give a much longer cue line for launching.

sorry my bad
it hasnt been implemented untill now to turn after the building although that was always the intention.
I think firstly they were getting us used to not using the main roundabout.

There’s a useless
electronic board with directions as you turn in from the roundabout north of the main roundabout, lots of confused boaties

That's a positive first step
That's a positive first step i.e. DoT are admitting queing is a problem
Three new floating jetties double the length of the existing ones will hold 2x the number of boats and significantly reduce queues at Hillarys as will marking the trailer bays better.

What about parking
How many bays are there for car & trailer as the fisherise building took a few I think originaly it was 490 ,may be more .but as many know,when it is a weekend some car/trailer bays are taken by people who are going to the beach so a boaty turns up,buys his ticket launches the boat goes to park but too late all the bays are full 98% cars/trailer but some cars only,The joondalup shire with the request of the Harbour master did send inspectors down to govern the 12.00 parking for cars but on a nice summer weekend with eatserlies & other commitments some trailer boateis do not get down there until after 12.00 no bays left i have also noticed that these insectors are very diligent in checking the car/tailer parked for tickets or passes but not so muh the cars parked up before 12.00

Now that the boat ramp area
Now that the boat ramp area is restricted to a single access point then turning away vehicles without trailers before 12pm will be the most effective way of dealing with this issue with a VMB on quiet days and having a traffic controller manning the entry point on weekend during the peak times of the year when the weather is going to be good. I think I'll get in contact with DoT and the local MLA and force the issue one this.

There’s a bit on farcebook today
its to stop queuing and make it safer , so now they all queue up through the car park!! Nearly bowled over a couple of kids yesterday, mum was a 100 meters away, so it’s not just boats going thru there, it’s everyone who wants to park once the top car park is full.

Cars driving through the boat ramp area
Cars driving through the boat ramp area is also a problem. Had a guy in a car only get mad at me because I was waiting for a launch bay to open. He didnt like having to wait to drive thriugh the ramp area !@$#
Don't spend all your money on beer, boats, and fishing. Save some to spend foolishly

Or the ones out for a scenic drive looking at the water not for the reversing trailers. Too many close calls.

Response from DoT below and a positive if they do use VMBs to inform cars about the parking arrangements:
Thank you for your feedback on the changes to access at Hillarys Boat Harbour.

Powerboat Unc. Yes they have
Powerboat Unc. Yes they have been on a memebrship drive since a whole lot of shit went down last year. It's a pretty good club and the food is better than a lot of clubs I've been to. Pinky's Bar is a good spot for a burger and a beer on a nice afternoon too.
