BIA welcomes the Queensland Government announcement yesterday of $15 million being allocated towards the Keeping Our Waterways Safe program.

BIA has consistently advocated for continued support for the War on Wrecks program and to also promote the importance of responsible boat ownership. That is why BIA is also working with governments across Australia in development of a national responsible boat owner campaign which is due for release later this year.

The $15 million in funding is over three years. More information from BIA Advocacy: .
