Boating WA

URGENT MESSAGE FROM YOUR PRESIDENT !!
ROTTNEST ISLAND - REFUND ON MOORINGS AND ENTRY FEE - IT HAS A SUNSET CLAUSE - 31 MARCH 2021!!

After an extensive negotiation with Minister Papalia, the Rottnest Island Authority and the Rottnest Island Authority – your rentals and fees as a Mooring Lessee or User will be refunded for the period of the Quarantining for Covid 19 (A period of 10 weeks). To simplify this refund, you will be entitled to a 20% refund of your Annual Rottnest Entry Fee, and 20% refund of your Mooring Lease Fee.

There has been a “Sunset Clause” placed on this refund – so if you have not made application for the refund by the 31 of March 2021 – it will no longer be on offer!

BoatingWA is pleased with the result and appreciates the consideration given to Boaters by the Minister, Rottnest Island Board, and the Rottnest Island Authority.

Making this refund happen will not be an easy task for the Rottnest Authority, and the applications and administrative work cannot dwindle on. This process must have a SUNSET CLAUSE and BoatingWA has negotiated 31 March 2021 as the deadline.

On our website you can find a copy of the letter sent to all Moorings Owners, Lessees – and hopefully everyone that was impacted by the Quarantining Period.

If you did not receive this notice then you can use the “Applications for a refund can be made here” shown on the page above “Apply Now” - and if no luck on either front then contact the Rottnest Island Authority at [email protected], as displayed further down the message.

Please try these avenues first as Staff at the Authority will be under considerable pressure dealing with the refunds in addition to their normal Lease duties.

Last resort – phone the Rottnest Island Authority .

Should you fail to make application before 31 March 2021 – there is no comeback! The offer will expire on this day. Any funds not claimed will go back into the funds of the Rottnest Island Authority and will no doubt be put to good use in the improvements planned for the Island. BoatingWA would draw your attention to the new Fuelling Jetty and the fantastic facility it offers to Boaters. Many millions of dollars invested and Boaters are certainly enjoying it.

There have been a few letters go in the Rottnest Island Authority from Boaters offering to donate their refund to the Island’s Funds, and that has the double sided benefit of not only registering your consideration and appreciation for the Island – but also allows the Authority Team to finalise the refunds processes.

TIME IS EVAPORATING, so make sure that your refund does not.

Boating Western Australia again thanks the Premier, Minister Papalia, Rottnest Island Board and the Rottnest Island Authority thru Exec Dir. Mr Jason Banks .

A great result for all Western Australian Boaters

Best Regards and safe Boating
