Those that have managed to gain ocean access have enjoyed exceptionally productive fishing conditions with good catches being reported. There have been however many instances of boats being damaged and vehicles being swamped primarily caused by the lack of adequate launching facilities at Bastion Point. The Mallacoota Business and Tourism Association has again expressed its disappointment in the Governments inaction to rectify this long outstanding problem. It is understood that the Environmental Economic Study (EES) completed by the Shire at a cost in excess of $250,000 is finally due to be released for community comment.
