manage and administer moorings in the stretch of water off Dungallan Parks. New visitors moorings were installed in summer 2008 in an area previously used for anchoring.

This area is close to the site of a long-established former small landing stage, by then in a state of disrepair and not viable.

CBMOA developed a project to re-instate and install a landing stage for use by local boat owners and sailing visitors. 

a donated landing bridge was remodelled, welded, repainted and planked

new steel support legs were fabricated for the access walkway with other parts made from reclaimed donated steel

3 new pontoon sections were installed by North West Marine, and the landing bridge test positioned in December 2008

April 2009 - all fixtures and signage completed, the landing bridge finally repositioned and the landing stage ready for the season
