ABOUT JET SPORT WEST

Jet Sport West (JSW) are proactive in managing the use of Personal Water Crafts (PWC's) and works to enhance awareness of safety issues for PWC users. JSW has also had a vital role to play in assisting the Western Australian Government in their legislation now present in the Swan and Canning Rivers in the form of the "PWC Strategy Policy". The Strategy is a break-through for PWC users with the introduction of areas designated for freestyling. JSW has managed issues stemming from bad behaviour to education for PWC users, by its successful Courtesy Patrol Program. PWC Courtesy Patrols when active, operate from Mindarie to Bunbury and throughout the Swan River.

JSW are members of the Boating Industry Association of WA (BIA). We support the Marine industry wherever we can and are proactive in explaining issues when they come to the forefront on PWC’s in Western Australia. JSW is often called upon to give views on issues that affect or will have an effect on PWC's.

JSW are members of the State Boating Council (SBC). This Council is the peak body in relation to recreational boating issues throughout the state. The SBC is the peak body which Local Government turns to on issues relating to Recreational Boating.

After many years of lobbying the Government and many hours spent by the JSW committee the creation of a dedicated PWC ramp was finally achieved. The ramp is situated adjacent to the freestyle area west side of the Narrows Bridge. This ramp was made possible by Jet Sport West, The Department of Transport, CALM, The City of South Perth, The Swan River Trust, and the Tribal Elders. JSW continues to pay for the annual maintenance of the ramp in an agreement with the Government.

Please support Jet Sport West by becoming a member, we will continue to fight for you and your PWC rights and endeavour to keep the South Perth boat ramp open to all PWC users.
