The work forms part of an overall $37.5 million funding commitment on almost 200 projects state-wide.
Mr Constance said all work would be delivered as part of the NSW Boating Now program, a NSW Government initiative intended to deliver accessible, modern and safe boating infrastructure where it is needed most.
“The projects will be delivered as part of the Far South Coast Regional Boating Plan, which is one of 11 Regional Boating Plans released across the state,” Mr Constance said.
“The Far South Coast plan covers the area between Batemans Bay and Eden,” Mr Constance said.
Eurobodalla projects include providing a sewage pumpout at Batemans Bay, upgrading the parking at Old Punt Road boat ramp at North Batemans Bay, upgrading the ramp and parking at Kingston Place at Tomakin, improving boating access to the Clyde River at Batemans Bay following the completion of existing boating infrastructure study and upgrading the boat ramp and install new pontoon at Apex Park, Narooma.
“This is about giving boaties on the Far South Coast what they need - better quality facilities and continual improvements in safety and accessibility,” Mr Constance said.
“We have worked extremely hard to get this right.”
Mr Constance said that it was expected that all of the priority projects would be delivered by the end of 2017.
A further $10 million has been allocated for a second round of priority projects across the state which will be considered from 2017 onwards.
