Principal Act
These regulations amend the Navigable Waters Regulations 1958 to update lifejacket standards, aligning them with Australian and International standards (AS, AS/NZS, ISO). They also adjust distance restrictions for certain water activities and clarify lifejacket requirements for various watercraft and activities.
These changes affect recreational boaters, personal watercraft users, water skiers, and sailboard riders in Western Australia. They need to ensure their lifejackets meet the updated standards and be aware of revised distance restrictions for certain activities. Vessel owners must ensure appropriate lifejackets are available for all on board.
