The Marine Safety Branch of the Department of Transport has approached AFANT to help with identifying and prioritising the marking of navigation hazards on rivers and waterways.

Once a navigation hazard is identified the Marine Safety Branch conduct a risk management study and if it is deemed to be an unacceptable navigational risk they take action i.e. facilitate the installation of appropriate markers. Some examples where this has already done are the McArthur River, Victoria River, Mule Creek, and Dundee,


If you know of a navigation hazard you believe requires marking could you please send the location with GPS coordinates to AFANT at [email protected]
