6.0 Overview of Event
South Curl Curl SLSC, in conjunction with a number of significant stakeholders (beko Australia / New
Zealand, Collaroy SLSC, Warringah Council, and NSW Government) will be landing 100 Surf Boats on
to Collaroy Beach at or near the time to coincide with Dawn in Gallipoli on 25th April 2015. The
ceremony includes the presentation of wreaths to each of the surf boats by a representative from
each of 100 schools. These wreaths will be released into the ocean as part of the ceremony by the
surf boats once returned to sea.
Crews are urged to partner with their local school for this ceremony and have schools register
through www.anzacbeachmemorial.com.au. On Anzac Day schools may provide one or two
students to participate in the ceremony. Parents and/or guardians do need to be in attendance on
the day to take charge of the student(s) immediately following the conclusion of the ceremony.
The ceremony will follow Australian Navy ceremonial protocols with the inclusion of some readings
by VIP’s, school children, and the reading of the ‘Ataturk’ poem.

7.0 Public Notices and Advertising for Ceremony
7.1 Public Notices
Public notices will be provided as follows:
7.1.1 Ceremony Area
Approx 6 week’s prior - Collaroy Surf Life Saving Club – a 5 metre x 1 metre banner will be hung on
the front of the club and will be visible from Pittwater Road and from the main parking area at the
surf club. This is a preferred action by NSW Police and will include information such as catching
public transport, bringing a picnic, and being a child friendly ceremony.
Approx 3 week’s prior - Collaroy Surf Life Saving Club and surrounding parking areas – will have
leaflets left on cars to ensure they are aware of the ceremony and the impact it will have on parking
on the 25th April
Approx 2 weeks prior – Warringah Mayor will include a summary of the ceremony in his Mayoral
address within the Manly Daily
7.1.2 Fisherman’s Beach
Approx 2 weeks prior – leaflets will be left on all cars in the boat ramp and surrounding car parks to
provide advice of the limited parking on 25th April
Approx 2 week’s prior – temporary signage will be erected around the boat ramp area advising
boaties and boat ramp users of the limited and high use of boat ramp on 25 th April.
Approx 2 week’s prior – temporary signage will be erected in the off-leash dog area advising that
‘some’ space in the area will be utilised for trailer parking on 25th April.
7.2 Advertising
7.2.1 Media Advertising
A full double page ‘centrespread’ has been purchased in the special ANZAC Lift out of the Manly
Daily in the week prior to the 25th April.

8.0 Staging Area – Fisherman’s Beach
The staging area will be at Fisherman’s Beach as it is close to the ceremony area. As the beach is
positioned behind a bluff, it is not visible to the public. Fisherman’s Beach has a public boat ramp
and approx. 140 parking bays, thus meets the staging and parking needs for the ceremony boating
participants.
The intent would be to have some boats arrive on the evening prior to Anzac (24th April), and to start
putting boats on to Fisherman’s Beach early morning of the 25th April.
As crews will be at Fisherman’s for several hours there is a need to provide shelter, toilets, food
(breakfast) and drinks (water).
8.1 Surf Boat Trailer Parking
Parking for 100 surf boat trailers and towing vehicles is addressed in the Warringah Council Reserve
Booking by the following:





Reserving approx. 120 parking spaces south of the Boat Ramp at Fisherman’s Beach
Preserving a number of parking spaces for the general public on the northern side of the
boat ramp
Restricting access, but NOT closing the access road south of the boat ramp. There will be
limited parking for the general public and cars will be allowed through to do drop-offs as
required. Volunteers will man a barricade and manage the flow of Surf Boats using the ramp
whilst maintaining safe access to the area south of the boat ramp by the public.
Overflow parking for TRAILERS will be provided at Griffith Park in the dog off-leash area. This
area does become boggy after rain so preference would be to man handle trailers in there
unless the surface is dry enough to drop off with vehicles. This parking area will be fenced
off from the off-leash area.
In case of previous wet weather making the off-leash area unsuitable for trailer parking,
proposal is to utilise the sealed parking area adjacent to the tennis courts (west of oval).

8.3 Trailer Parking and Barricades
The area around Long Reef is an extremely popular area for walkers, especially on weekends.
Although access south of the boat ramp for non-participants cars will be limited, there does need to
be full footpath access maintained for walkers.
Based on this requirement, participants are requested to take note of the following photographs and
make every effort to park their trailers and boats accordingly.
Barricades will be in place from approx. 4pm on Friday 24 th. These barricades will be tall witch’s hats
with barricade tape as per above photographs.
8.4 Security Night of Friday 24th April
Paid security guards will be on site for the evening of the 24 th April. Where practical, crews are urged
to deliver their boats and trailers on the Friday 24 th so that launching can commence first thing on
following morning.
8.5 Sweep and Crew Briefings
For crews that arrive on the 24th April there will be a high level briefing / question time on the
evening of the 24th April at the Boat Ramp area.
Detailed Sweep briefings will be provided on the morning of the 25th April at approx. 10:45am. Exact
times for this briefing will be provided closer to the 25 th April.
A crew briefing will be provided post Sweep briefing
There is an expectation that all crews will have accessed this document and read it prior to the
ceremony. The desire is for all participants to have a good working understanding of the entire event
so that we can minimise any surprises on the day.

8.6 Staging Area facilities
8.6.1 BBQ Breakfast
Breakfast and morning tea will be provided from approx. 07:00 on morning of the 25th April at
Fisherman’s beach. Adequate quantities of food will be provided to ensure all crews receive a hearty
breakfast prior to the landing.
Each crew will also be provided with water and food to take in the boat.
8.6.2 Toilets
There is limited toilets available at Fisherman’s Beach, so additional ‘port-a-loos’ will be provided by
the organisers. The location and number of toilets will be negotiated with Warringah Council staff.
8.6.3 Shade Shelters
There will be tents available in the staging area at Fisherman’s Beach, though it is unlikely that we
will have adequate coverage for all 500 boaties.
A reminder to ‘slip, slop, and slap’
8.6.4 Gear Storage
There will be limited storage for personal belongings at the staging area at Fisherman’s Beach. We
will also have paid security, however like any carnival or public gathering – please don’t bring
valuables that you cannot afford to lose. We all have the best intentions to safeguard your property
however we cannot guard against some opportunistic thieves!
8.7 Uniform Collection
Uniforms for crews and volunteers will be available on the morning of the 25 th April at the staging
area at Fisherman’s Beach.
8.8 IRB and Water Safety
There will be IRB and limited PWC’s operating in the landing area both as water safety and also to
assist the Sweeps in maintaining the formation as they row around to the ceremony area. These
IRB’s will be landed at the Ceremony area so that IRB crews can participate in the ceremony.
8.9 Boat Ramp & Launching Areas
There is adequate capability at Fisherman’s to make use of the public boat ramp plus an additional
two launching areas either side of the ramp. We do need to be mindful that this is a public boat
ramp, so there may be some recreational boaties to work around. We are urging all crews to arrive
as early as is possible so that we have the 100 boats on the beach at Fisherman’s well in advance of
the Sweeps briefing. As a guide, we are aiming to have all boats unloaded and on the beach by
11am at the absolute latest.
Fisherman’s Beach has more than adequate space to cope with the 100 boats up on the beach prior
launching for the landing.

8.10 Surf Boats - Number Allocation for the Landing
Upon arrival at the Fisherman’s Beach staging area, boats will be allocated a landing number
between 1 and 100 which will determine which of the six waves they will be in, if they are in the
North or South fleet, and what colour ‘Turning Buoy’ they are heading for. Sweeps will be provided
with a laminated card such as the following:
8.10.1 Example of Numbering for Wave 1 Boats
Note that there is a storm water pipe in the middle of the landing area. Odd numbered boats land to
the SOUTH of the pipe. Even boats land to the NORTH of the pipe.
Number allocations start at the pipe and increase north or south accordingly as per following:

Page 18 of 43
100 Years 100 Boats – Anzac Beach Memorial
www.anzacbeachmemorial.com.au
8.11 Surf Boats – Launching Sequence
Surf Boats will form up at Fisherman’s in to their six (6) waves. Each wave will row in formation over to the Collaroy Beach Ceremony area. The intent is for
the boats to enter the water at Fisherman’s in the same position that they will land over at Collaroy. Basically each boat will row beside the same boats all
the way from Fisherman’s Beach to Collaroy Beach in an ‘arc’. Standard SLSA Surf Boat ‘Turning Buoys’ will be set up in front of the Ceremony area with
corresponding coloured flags on the beach to aim for.
ANZAC 2015 Management / Operational Plan 24 March 2015

100 Years 100 Boats – Anzac Beach Memorial
www.anzacbeachmemorial.com.au
8.12 Route to Row to Collaroy
The following diagram shows the route crews will row from Fisherman’s Beach to the Ceremony
area at Collaroy Beach. Crews will know which colour ‘SLSA Turning Cans’ they are heading for by
their allotted boat number. Once through the turning cans crews will continue to row in formation
to a corresponding coloured flag (as turning can) on the beach.
8.13 Surf Boats – Number of Waves Based on Conditions
The number of landing waves will be dependent upon the surf conditions of the day. Collaroy Beach
was chosen as it is reasonably sheltered. Being April we are also fortunate that typically we are past
the northern cyclonic swells, and this time of year is prior to the winter southerly weather patterns.
It is most likely that we will be landing the 100 boats over six (6) waves. This leaves a separation of
16 metres between boats in the southern landing area. Northern area can spread out more as it
does not have the physical constraints as the Southern end.
A decision on the number of waves will be made on the morning of the 25 th April and will be based
on the following:
Small to medium surf








6 waves of boats per landing, 16 meter separation between boats
Experienced sweeps only per boat
Request to all crews to row together as a crew for minimum 4 weeks prior to landing to gain experience as a crew
IRB and radio control over landing to ensure landing delayed between set waves
IRB and Jet ski’s operating in landing area
Ensure sweeps briefing identifies that this is a landing and not a race
Experience helpers around landing zone to clear boats up beach
First aid immediately available near landing zone

9.0 Ceremony / Surf Boat Landing Area’s - Setup
9.1 Aerial View of Ceremony Area / Surf Boat Landing Area - SETUP
The blue lines in following diagram show the location(s) of the barricades to be installed to separate
the public from both the boat landing area, and also provide separation with traffic on Pittwater
Road (as recommended by NSW Police).
9.2 Ceremony Area Setup
The ceremony area is slightly to the south of the Stormwater pipe located in front of the Collaroy
Beach Club.
The beach at Collaroy benefits from additional sand in autumn as the sand from the northern end of
the beach travels to the southern end due to the prevailing North Eastern winds. The location of the
(back of) stage is to be approximately 23 metres from the sandstone wall though this may vary with
the amount of sand available on the day. The further back the stage is located, the more public can
fit on beach behind VIP seating.

9.2.2 Disabled Access for Ceremony
A dedicated area will be made available to the rear of the VIP area (on boardwalk / pathway) for
wheelchairs.
9.2.3 Wreath and Lone Pine Sapling – presentation and storage
Wreaths are being made for presentation by schools during the ceremony. Upon arrival the wreaths
may be dropped at the Collaroy Beach SLSC. These wreaths will be available during the ceremony to
the immediate north of the stage area.
Lone Pine Saplings that are genetic ancestors from the original pine trees of Gallipoli will be available
for the Sweeps to collect and present during the ceremony. The pine saplings will be available
during the ceremony to the immediate south of the stage area.
These saplings were germinated from a pine cone returned to Australia by an Australian soldier who
lived through the Battle of Lone Pine – August 6th 1915.
School children will enter the ceremony area from the north; sweeps will enter from the south. They
will swap wreath for sapling and then leave the ceremony. Sweeps will return to their positions near
the stage, school children will return to their parents or guardians in the public area.
9.2.4 Spectator Area
There will be a number of public areas for the landing and ceremony to be viewed. The area
between the Collaroy Beach SLSC and the Collaroy Beach Club will be immediately in front of the
ceremony area. There will also be public space along approximately the first 8 – 10 metres from the
boardwalk east on to the beach area.
9.2.5 Toilets and Rubbish
Portable toilets will be strategically located in the public area adjacent to the public toilet at Collaroy
Beach SLSC. Location of toilets will be negotiated with Warringah Council Staff
Rubbish will be managed in conjunction with the recommendations of Warringah Council.
9.2.6 P.A and Screens
The P.A system will provide audio to the public for the entire length of the landing area, from the
Collaroy Ocean Pool up to the northern end of the landing area. This will allow for significant public
attendance for the landing and ceremony.
Large screen TV’s will be provided in strategic locations (likely on the beach) which will provide all
attendees the ability to see the live streamed service from Gallipoli. The local Collaroy ceremony
will also be live streamed so it will be visible by the public anywhere between the Collaroy Ocean
Pool through to the northern end of the landing area.
9.2.7 Spectator Management
The use of barriers is to ensure spectator safety as much as possible. Barriers will be erected in
locations to separate the public from the surf boat landing area. Barriers will separate spectators
from Pittwater Road and ‘guide’ pedestrians towards traffic lights to cross Pittwater Road if
required, with safety.

9.3.2 Marker Buoys and Landing Flags / Cones
Safety / guidance buoys will be utilised as follows:


As a guide for the starting point for each wave, and
As a means to identify a ‘no go’ area around the storm water pipe.
Landing Area beach Flags (cones) will be located in suitable positions to enable incoming surf boats
to identify their landing locations.
Buoys and flags will follow standard Surf Life Saving ‘Turning Cans’ colour scheme, specifically:
No. 1 red and yellow
No. 2 black
No. 3 green with a white horizontal stripe
No. 4 red
No. 5 blue with a horizontal white stripe
No. 6 yellow
No. 7 white with a black horizontal stripe
No. 8 Likely to be Orange
PINK cans will be located either side of the storm water pipe with some other warning device or
warning flag on the end of the pipe to aid in making it visible.
9.3.3 Spectator Management – Surf Boat Landing Area
Barricades will be erected on the beach approximately 8 – 10 metres from the main boardwalk.
There will be volunteers stationed along this barricade to assist in keeping the public out of the
landing area.
Should there be any members of the public in the landing area…..the landing
will be suspended until it is safe to continue.

ANZAC 2015 Management / Operational Plan 24 March 2015
Page 29 of 43
100 Years 100 Boats – Anzac Beach Memorial
www.anzacbeachmemorial.com.au
There will be two parts to the Wave 1 landing. The first three boats to land will be an Australian,
New Zealand, and Turkish Boats. These three boats will be carried up to the stage area as they form
part of the ceremony setting. Once these three boats are clear, the remaining Wave 1 boats will
land.
For Wave 1 crews there will be experienced volunteers waiting to assist to land the boat and to
move it up the beach. Once landed one person from each crew will remain in the landing area to
assist the next wave, whilst the remainder of each crew will assemble in their positions around the
stage in ceremony area.
Wave 1 boats once landed will be moved up the beach with the bow of the boat butting up to the
barricades (ie with bow facing inland). Waves 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be spun around and carried up the
beach with their bows facing the ocean so that they can be re-launched more efficiently.
10.2 Surf Boats – Waves 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Waves 2 through to the final wave will come to shore in sequence. As each boat lands the volunteers
along with one member of the crew just landed will assist in moving the boat up the beach (with
bow facing sea) until all boats are landed. All crews will then proceed to their positions in the
ceremony area.
10.3 Raising of Flags
A member of each of the first three boats landed (a Turk, an Australian, and a New Zealander) will
have been standing at attention whilst flying their Nations flag on the stage for the duration of the
landing. Once all boats have landed these three crew persons will assist in raising the three flags.
This signifies to commencement of the official ceremony.

10.4 Participants Positioning During Ceremony
10.4.1 VIP’s
Upon arrival, VIP’s will be asked to meet at the Collaroy Swim Club rooms in the upstairs area on the
southern end of the Collaroy Surf Life Saving Club where refreshments will be provided. These rooms
provide suitable viewing of the boats as they round the bluff which will allow suitable time for the
VIP’s to take their seats in the ceremony area. It is expected that VIP’s will be seated in ceremony
area by 12:10pm at latest.
10.4.2 Sweeps
The previous diagram shows the ceremony area. One hundred sweeps will be positioned to the
immediate south of the stage. During the ceremony the sweeps will be called upon to present a Lone
Pine sapling to one of the school children in attendance. The sweeps will in single file walk to the
front of the stage, exchange their sapling for a wreath, and then walk towards the public area
between the VIP seating before returning to their boats.
10.4.3 Schools
Upon arrival, the school children will be asked to assemble within the Collaroy Surf Life Saving Clubs
hall (located upstairs). Just prior to the ceremony the school children will be escorted to the rear of
the VIP seating until all four boats are in place around the stage area. When safe, they will be
escorted to the north of the stage in the ceremony area.
During the ceremony the school children will form a single file, meet the sweeps in front of the
stage, exchange their wreath for a Lone Pine sapling, then return to the holding area at the rear of
ANZAC 2015 Management / Operational Plan 24 March 2015
Page 31 of 43
100 Years 100 Boats – Anzac Beach Memorial
www.anzacbeachmemorial.com.au
the VIP seating where they will remain until the end of the ceremony at which time their parent /
teacher / guardian will collect them.
10.4.4 Crews
Crews (400) will be located along side of the four surf boats located adjacent to the stage. These
boats go on an approx. 30 degree angle from the stage back towards the sandstone promenade wall.
Each crew will be asked to bring 1 oar with them and stand with that oar in an upright position for
the duration of the ceremony. There will be no crew or participants behind the stage so that three
national flags will remain as focal points.
10.4.5 Volunteers
There will be numerous volunteer positions required in the ceremony area:
 Boat Landing area – volunteers to assist with the landing of the Surf Boats. These will be
people experienced in working around surf boats.
 VIP escorts – located in the VIP area.
 School escorts – to assist with wreaths and assist school representatives during the
ceremony
 Sweep escorts – to assist with Lone Pine saplings and assist during the ceremony
 Landing Area Barricade assistants – located along the length of the barricades on the
beach area. These volunteers will look to keep members of the public out of the landing area.
 Catafalque assistants – work with the Navy Catafalque party
 First Aid attendants – to assist with any first aid issues/incidents that may arise
 Spectator assistants – to assist with spectator management and distribution of
programmes
Refer to the volunteer objectives later in this document for role specific descriptions.
10.5 Spectator Management during Ceremony
Barricades for the ceremony area have been discussed. Further volunteers will be strategically
located around the ceremony area to provide assistance as required. NSW Police will also be in
attendance. Key objective is to manage the attending public to make it a safe, enjoyable ceremony
for ‘all’ involved.
10.6 Proposed Order of Ceremony
Actual times for the ceremony will be confirmed closer to the 25 th April. As we are live streaming the
Dawn Service from Gallipoli we need the run-sheet from the Broadcaster to ensure our timings align.


11:45 - Surf Boats start forming up and head to Collaroy Beach

12:00 - First three Surf Boats land

12:15 - Remaining Surf Boats land in total of six waves (or as conditions allow)

10.7 Launching of Surf Boats – Return to Sea
At a time in the ceremony the crews for wave 6 will return to their boats and with the assistance of
the volunteers will launch and proceed out to sea. This will be followed by waves 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1.
The final boats to leave the beach will be the Australian, Turkish and New Zealand boats. All boats
will proceed out to sea and form up in their waves to continue with the waterborne part of the
ceremony.
10.8 Wreath Laying, Anthems
Should we be able to align with the Dawn Service in Turkey, the 100 surf boats will raise their oars
whilst the Ode, Reveille, and the three National Anthems are played / sung. Should for any reason
we not align with the Dawn Service from Turkey, a local bugler will play Reveille.
10.9 End of Ceremony – Surf Boats
Once the ceremony is complete, 85 of the 100 boats will return directly to Fisherman’s Beach, and
trailer their boats.
The remaining 15 boats will return to shore at Collaroy Beach in an effort to stagger the dispersal of
the public. After approx. 20 – 30 minutes these 15 boats will return to Fisherman’s Beach.
10.10 End of Ceremony – Spectator Dispersal
NSW Police have requested that we make efforts to have a staggered end to the Ceremony so that
we do not have the entire public attempting to leave at once. The organisers are working with
Warringah Council to have the beach re-opened for swimming immediately after the conclusion of
the ceremony and other means to stagger the departure of the public.

14.0 Volunteer Roles
The following section provides an overview of the volunteer requirements to setup, run and
‘bump out’ all of the equipment required to run the 100 Years 100 Boats Anzac Beach
Memorial Ceremony.
Role descriptions below identify the overall objectives of each of the volunteer roles. Team
leads will determine the manner in which their teams will best deliver against these
objectives.
14.1 Staging Area
14.1.1 Set Up crews
Closer to Anzac Day a final plan will be available with complete ‘build’ plans for the staging
area. The set-up crew’s objective will be to build the staging area against this final plan.
Key to the success of the setup crews will be barricading adequate parking spaces as
allowed in the Reserve Booking to provide the up to 120 parking spaces required for the
boat trailers and towing vehicles.
14.1.2 Staging Admin
Upon arrival, boat crews will ‘check-in’ with the Staging area admin person. This person will
provide any operational updates and allocate the crews ‘Boat Number’ for the landing. This
number dictates which wave the crew is in, what colour ‘Turning Buoys’ they are heading
for, etc. As part of checking in, the staging area admin person will be collecting signed
indemnity forms from all participants.
14.1.3 Boat Ramp Parking assistants
The objective of the boat ramp parking assistants will be to maximise the safe work
environment for participants and public alike. Whilst we are not looking to close the road
south of the boat ramp, we are looking to control traffic and allow drop-offs by the public in
the upper parking area whilst maintaining the regular launching of surf boats. With 100
boats being launched via two ramp areas, traffic control is a critical role.
Additionally these volunteers will assist with the parking of boat trailers and towing vehicles.
14.1.4 Griffith Park – Boat Trailer Parking Assistants
There is an overflow area at the Griffith Park off-leash (dog) area where participants can
park boat trailers. As part of the setup there will be an area marked out with barricade tape
for trailers. Volunteers will be required to assist in parking trailers in this space and
recovering trailers post ceremony.
ANZAC 2015 Management / Operational Plan 24 March 2015
Page 36 of 43
100 Years 100 Boats – Anzac Beach Memorial
www.anzacbeachmemorial.com.au
14.1.5 Uniform Distribution
All participants and volunteers will receive a number of commemorative clothing items.
Volunteers will be required to distribute and track the allocation of clothing.
14.1.6 Launching Assistants
Volunteers with boat experience will be required to provide assistance to the crews in
launching boats at the two launch areas. Once boats are off loaded from trailers there will
be a requirement to move the boats to pre-determined locations on Fisherman’s Beach so
that they can be readily formed up in to waves. These launch assistants will ensure that
boats are launched in the correct sequence as required.
14.1.7 Sweep and Crew Briefing
One of the organisers will provide Sweep and Crew briefings so that all participants are on
the same page and know what they need to do, where they need to do it, and when. These
briefings will also include a ‘safety briefing’.
14.1.8 Staging Area - First Aid
There will be a requirement to have a manned First Aid post at the staging area
14.1.9 IRB Crews
IRB crews will be required to provide assistance from a safety perspective, and to also assist
in ensuring that boats stay in formation, head towards the correct buoy’s, etc. The IRB crews
will communicate with organisers to release each wave for the landing and have overall
control (under radio instruction) of the fleets whilst at sea.
Following the completion of the ceremony, IRB crews will be tasked with collecting wreaths
from the ocean and returning them to the staging area at Fisherman’s beach.
14.1.10
Bump Out Teams
As all volunteers will be present at the ceremony (should they want), bump out of the
staging area will commence at approx. 2pm (post ceremony). The bump out objectives will
be to return the Fisherman’s Beach area back to public use, with all equipment either
returned to suppliers or packed up and ready to be collected.
14.1.11
Miscellaneous
Volunteers to assist with BBQ and general duties

ceremony area.
14.2.4 School Escorts
School children taking part in the ceremony will first meet in the Collaroy SLSC Hall. Close to
service commencement they will be escorted down to the ceremony area where they will
wait behind VIP seating until the initial four (4) surf boats have landed and moved in to
position either side of the stage. Once boats are in place escorts will move the children in to
their position on the northern side of the stage. Volunteers will ensure that the children
have their wreaths and are in order to give their wreath to their corresponding boat Sweep
during the ceremony.
14.2.5 Wreath and Sapling Handlers
Volunteers will be required to assist in managing wreaths and pine saplings. Saplings will
need to be made available in the ceremony area and positioned so that sweeps can collect
them in readiness to hand over to the school children. There will also be a requirement for a
volunteer to collect some of the pine saplings from school children once that part of the
ceremony is over. Due to the rareness of these Lone Pines, only guardians, teachers or
mature age students will be permitted to take possession of the saplings (post ceremony) on
behalf of their school.

14.2.10
Surf Boat Landing Assistants
Volunteers with experience around Surf Boats will be required to assist in the landing of the
Surf Boats, and to assist the crews in moving the boats up the beach. These volunteers need
to be safety aware.
The initial three boats to land will be the Australian, New Zealand, and Turkish Boats.
Landing assistants will be required to assist these crews to carry or drag these three boats
up to the stage area. Boat number 1 from Wave 1 will also need to be dragged up to the
stage area.
All remaining boats in all waves will be carried / dragged up to a predefined area on the
beach.
14.2.11
Surf Boat Launching Assistants
Launching of surf boats will be a reverse of the landing sequence. Wave 6 will launch first,
followed by wave 5, etc. Volunteers will assist in launching boats and also in ensuring that
both Northern and Southern waves launch simultaneously.
The final four boats to launch will be required to be carried / dragged down to water’s edge
from the stage area.

14.2.12
Beach Barricade Assistants
There will be a barricade between the public area of the beach, and the boat area.
Volunteers will be located along the barricade to ensure that there is no member of the
public in the boat area during the landing, or launching of the surf boats. Should a member
of the public enter this space, the landing will be suspended for safety reasons until safe to
continue.
14.2.13
Road Barricade Assistants
NSW Police have identified a preference to have barricades along Pittwater Road to ensure
that people utilise the two traffic light areas to cross Pittwater Road at the completion of
the service. Volunteers will be spaced along the barricades to direct the public to the traffic
light areas. These volunteers will need to be in position close to the end of the ceremony.
14.2.14
