Whether you manufacture, import or operate as a dealer for Australian or overseas manufactured boats, you have an obligation to demonstrate, and take responsibility for compliance with the Australian Builders Plate Standard and regulations.

The BIA Boat Manufacturers Division will be hosting a series of 3-hr consultation workshops, in conjunction with state marine agencies. Workshops will be attended by ARBSC (Australian Recreational Boating Safety Committee) representatives who will explain the reasoning behind the new draft standard and the proposed changes. BIA will provide support to members in relation to technical detail and use of the standard and will facilitate feedback/questions and answers.

When - 4 December, 9am
Where - White Bay 6 Marine Park, Robert Street, Balmain - parking is available onsite
