Fireworks exclusion zone reminder for boaters.

Boats must not enter, moor, or operate within the exclusion zone, which is a 200m diameter circle adjacent to Bicentennial Park, as shown in the above.

The exclusion zone is in place to ensure the safety of all waterway users during the fireworks display.
