Safe on-water conduct on the Brisbane River

The safe operation of craft on Queensland's waterways is a priority for state and local government authorities, commercial operators and sport and recreational organisations. The Brisbane River Code of Conduct is the product of a collaboration between Maritime Safety Queensland, Rowing Queensland and the Brisbane City Council. This code of conduct has been adopted to provide guidance on several aspects of the safe on-water conduct of craft including general rules of the river, interacting with other vessels, adapting to environmental factors, participant safety and incident reporting.

The code of conduct is written for the benefit of all commercial and recreational users of the Brisbane River.
