Boat ramp launch permit

The boat ramp at O’Sullivan Beach is now open following an upgrade by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport.

The upgraded ramp increases capacity for launching and retrieving boats, reduces congestion, improves the accessibility of the facility, and make it easier for emergency services during an emergency. 

The Harbour Cafe and Marine Shop will occupy the former kiosk from mid-January.

Ramp permit

Signage has been installed. Permits are required to use the boat ramp. 

Permits can be purchased using the PayStay app or online via paystay.com.au or at Noarlunga council office. 

Permits can no longer be purchased in person at The Harbour Café and Marine Shop (former kiosk).

Permits can be purchased for a single visit (24 hours), three, six, nine or 12 months.

Long term permits (3, 6, 9 or 12 months) are available at a discounted rate for pensioners. 

When pension permits are required, please visit a City of Onkaparinga office. Please bring your pensioner card and trailer registration details with you. Pensioners will need to complete this process each time a long term permit at the pensioner rate is required.
