How to Apply for Membership to Berowra Waters Residents Pontoon Association
For residents of Berowra Waters, there is water-only access to property. This requires the use of secure boat berthing and car park facilities on a daily basis. Public Wharves do not allow berthing for more than 2 hours at a time.
Berthing options for residents are:
• Single Berth Rental at the Berowra Waters Marina West.
• Commuter Berth rental at Berowra Waters Marina East.
• Residents’ Commuter Pontoon, on the east bank of Berowra Creek near to the Public Wharf (requires membership of the Residents Pontoon Association – BWRPA).
The purpose of the BWRPA is to provide long term, stable, vessel berthing and car parking facilities for commuter boats and vehicles for residents of Berowra Waters. The association is an unincorporated, not-for-profit entity, setup and managed by the residents of Berowra Waters under authority of the NSW Department of Lands and Hornsby Shire Council.
If you are an owner of property fronting Berowra Creek or Murra Murra Creek and can supply proof of ownership (in the form of Title Deed or Rates Notice), you are eligible to apply for membership of BWRPA. Membership grants the right to moor one boat at the Residents’ Pontoon according to the rules of the Association.
Membership availability is limited by the number of free boat berthing spaces on the Pontoon. If there are no available spaces, membership may be declined until space becomes available.
Membership involves a one-off, non refundable and non-transferable Joining Fee and Annual Membership Fees. Annual Fees are due each Financial Year upon receipt of notice from the Association.
Membership provides berthing rights for one boat, along with access to the Residents’ Pontoon facility by way of a keyless entry proximity card.
Residents may also gain access to the Car park Compound inside the sunset gate at the end of Kirkpatrick Way, by way of security coded keys. This facility only requires an Annual Fee. Levies may be applied at time to time to finance major repairs, or upgrades to the security and amenity of the facilities.
Rental of keys to the compound does not guarantee a car park space.
Applicants will be asked to sign a document stating that they have read and agreed to the Membership Constitution and a Risk Clause indicating that they are aware of the risks associated with using the facilities.
There are processes within the Association for applying for berthing a second boat and/or multiple vehicles in the car park.
To apply for membership of the Berowra Waters Residents’ Pontoon Association, please fill out a Membership Application by downloading a form (Click here) , and mail it, together with a copy of your Title Deed or Rates Notice, to:
The Secretary
PO Box 61
Berowra Waters
This will be presented at the next monthly committee meeting for approval. You will be advised by mail after that.
If approved, you will be invoiced for the Joining Fee and first year’s annual membership. Once payment is received, your access card, Membership Boat Number sticker and/or car park keys will be posted to you.
The Membership Boat Number sticker must be placed in your boat so as to be easily visible from the Pontoon.
