Slipway fees

Please refer to our Oamaru Harbour Fee page for current prices.

All fees (winch fees and daily fees) must be paid before the vessel is released from the slipway. 

Due to resource consent conditions currently public access to the breakwater is prohibited.

Council operates the moorings in the Oamaru Harbour. Currently there are no moorings available for lease, however, there is a waiting list which you can join. Please contact us on 03 433 0300 if you would like to make an enquiry regarding moorings.

When a mooring becomes available, the longest standing applicants on the waiting list will need to complete the Agreement to Moor Vessel form.

A visitors' berth is provided for short duration stay. There is a daily fee for this which can be viewed in Oamaru Harbour Fee page.
