Novara Steps & "Canoe Slide” A set of steps with a "canoe slide”, has been installed at Novara. Located south of the boat ramp it will be particularly useful during peak holiday periods. The Canoe Trail Friends thank Chris Abbis, Waterways Technical Officer with the City of Mandurah, for his cooperative approach in providing this innovative paddling feature. (see attached pic)
Point Grey Outline Development Plan The ODP, under taken by the Shire of Murray, states that it should make suitable provision for the two non-powered sites launch sites as identified by the Canoe Trail Friends.
Port Bouvard Limited was very helpful during the consultation process.
