WA boats crossing into naval zone

Recreational boat users have been unwittingly entering naval exclusion zones near HMAS Stirling, the West Australian government says.

More specific information about the exclusion zones at Garden Island will be outlined when the Recreational Skipper's Ticket workbook is reviewed this year.

Signage at local boat ramps will also be reviewed.

Transport minister Dean Nalder said the publications would be reviewed in consultation with the Navy to ensure the restricted zones were more prominent and observed.

HMAS Stirling is Australia's premier naval facility.
