Navigation safety contacts
On this page:
The Navigation Safety Bylaw 2009 for the Waikato region requires applications to be made to register personal water craft (jetskis), gain permission to hold temporary events on the water, or request an exemption from the bylaw’s requirements. This page has navigation safety contact information for the Waikato region, including district councils and harbourmasters.
District councils
Get in touch with your local district council to find out specific information about your area, for example, the use of reserves and boat ramp closures.
