Mooring

The NCA manages Lake Burley Griffin (the Lake) and administers moorings on the Lake.

Moored boats (yachts, inboards, outboards and other vessels) add to the aesthetic values of the Lake. Enquiries can be submitted at any time, but mooring spaces are limited.

All mooring permits are administered in accordance with the Australian Capital Territory National Land (Lakes) Ordinance 2022, The Lake Burley Griffin Mooring Permit Guidelines and the Lake Burley Griffin Recreational Policy.
