What tasks does a Harbour Authority carry out?
Harbour Authorities keep vital harbour facilities in good repair, provide essential services to harbour users, establish and enforce rules, and represent the needs of users at the community level. Harbour Authorities help keep harbours safe by overseeing the management and operation of the facility, including maintaining lighting systems, launch ramps, fuelling stations and breakwaters. Harbour Authorities are also responsible for charging and collecting fees from users to cover costs of operating harbours. Fees collected from users are reinvested in harbour maintenance, operations and repairs.
