Volunteer Marine Rescue benefits from QGC Communities Fund

Gladstone boaties launching from the Volunteer Marine Rescue base at Gladstone Marina can now check the tide times before they head out. A bright new LED Sign located next to the boat shed will be used to communicate boating safety messages, including the vital log on and log off reminder message.   

The new sign has been made possible thanks to the QGC Communities fund, which awarded VMR Gladstone $30,000 to develop the project. President VMR Gladstone, Mike Lutze said “The sign can be programmed with variable messages for example tide times, safety alerts in the harbour and general boating safety messages. This type of sign can also provide messaging in a timely manner on any emerging issues of boating and community safety.”
