Mackay - Clearance
This is a Port of Entry and a Biosecurity First Point of Entry.
For full details of Clearance into Australia, including details of public liability insurance requirements, see the Noonsite Australia Formalities page.
Please note that if you are entering Australia for the first time, you must notify Australian Border Force at least 96 hours before arrival.
Time: GMT +10.00
Clearance Procedure:
Australian Border Force carry out formalities here (Customs, Immigration and Biosecurity).
Quarantine and Customs clearance is normally conducted alongside one of the superyacht docks inside Mackay Marina.
Yachts arriving from 0800 – 1630 should contact Mackay Marina on VHF CH16 on approach to the outer harbour. You will be asked to switch to a working channel (often CH72). Unless advised otherwise, proceed to the north arm of the fuel dock, in front of the marina office. See https://www.mackaymarina.com/marina-map/. If the fuel dock is full, you will be advised of an alternative dock.
Boats arriving after 1500 are unlikely to be cleared the same day by Customs and Biosecurity.
Do not get off your boat until cleared.
