Foreshore

Welcome to the Foreshore

Safety ladders - The foreshore team has installed safety ladders on the docks.
D Dock
These ladders are designed to be stowed in a collapsed position so that all material sits above the water. This is to ensure marine growth and corrosion do not destroy the ladders.
In the unfortunate event of falling in the water:
1. Look around and identify an emergency ladder by the yellow top plate or yellow bottom rung of the ladder.
2. Swim to the ladder.
3. Pull the bottom yellow rung down and step onto the ladder to get yourself out of the water.
Please refer to the attached photos so that you are able to identify them the next time you are down at the docks. I strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with the locations of the ladders on all docks the next time you visit. A diagram of the locations of the dock ladders has been attached to this email as well.
Stay safe out there,
Kurtis Paddle
Rear Commodore
