Overview
The Queensland Government is developing a business case to investigate potential upgrade options for the Rocky Point Road Boat Ramp in Winfield. The business case will focus on addressing some of the challenges boaties face when using the existing ramp and improving safety, usability, and access for recreational boaters. It will also identify solutions that will deliver a safer, more accessible, and enjoyable experience for everyone.
We are committed to improving boating infrastructure to support Winfield's close-knit community and the recreational boaties who rely on the Rocky Point Road Boat Ramp.
Why we are seeking your feedback
Community feedback will help inform the business case by developing concept design options that reflect the needs and preferences of local boaties and how the facility is used. This consultation provides an opportunity for the community to review the design options and share their views before recommendations are finalised.
Any recommendations from the business case will be considered as part of future planning and investment decisions.
Phase 1: Community consultation (completed late 2025)
We met with the local community in late 2025 to better understand how the boating community use the boat ramp, what works well, key issues experienced at the site, and to get ideas for improving it within the investigation area.
Community members shared valuable feedback about ramp usability, safety, tidal access, and ideas for potential improvements. This has helped inform the development of 3 proposed concept design options, which will now be shared with the community for further feedback.
Phase 2: Have your say on the proposed design options
We are now inviting the community to provide feedback on 3 proposed concept design options for potential upgrades to the Rocky Point Road Boat Ramp.
These were developed using feedback received during Phase 1 consultation in late 2025.
Feedback in Phase 2 will help us understand which option works best for the community, and will help refine final business case recommendations.
Consultation is open until Sunday 12 April 2026.
