Marina Works
|
|
|
|
Members are advised that over the next two weeks important works being conducted by Parks Victoria mean that the marina power supply will be disconnected. During this period power to the marina will be supplied by a generator. This is located at the main walkway to the marina and we request that members keep clear of this area during the period of works. While the intention is to run the generator at all times, it maybe necessary to limit its operation overnight. This would effect the power pedestals on the marina. We appreciate your understanding during these necessary works.
