In recognition of the important role of boat owners in helping improve water quality, we have installed a FREE sewerage pump out facility for all boating customers use.

It will cater for vessels with on-board holding tanks, with or without their own on board pump and for vessels with chemical toilets (porta potties).

The facility has been installed in conjunction with Gosford City Council. 

The direct discharge of raw sewerage by boats into Brisbane Waters contributes to disease causing organisms. This presents a hazard to swimming and other water uses.

The Killcare Marina pump out facility helps stop discharge of untreated sewerage into Hardy’s Bay, which in turn improves the water quality of Brisbane Waters. This will benefit Hardy’s Bay aquatic life as well as the tourism, recreation and the oyster industry.

Providing sewerage pump out facilities at marinas significantly reduces the harmful effects of directly discharging sewage from boats into the water. Killcare Marina are pleased to be able to provide this system for boaters to help the environment.

Brisbane Waters is used for a wide variety of purposes including recreational and commercial boating, recreational and commercial fishing and aquaculture. The protection and improvement of Brisbane Waters is of utmost importance and the installation of this sewage pump out facility is one more step towards achieving this goal.
