Private mooring licences are only issued to individuals. They’re not issued to a partnership, company, organisation or association. A private mooring licence permits you to moor your vessel on navigable waters. The licence is valid for 12 months. It will be renewed on payment of your annual [private mooring fees](https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/maritime/moorings/mooring-fees.html#Privatemooringfees).

Would it be possible to get this dataset as a KML or GeoJSON download?

Hi @sydney_mariner ,

The current data available on the Open Data page relates to **private mooring license application** , not the **geographic locations** of individual moorings.

Due to safety concerns, we are not publishing any datasets that include private mooring locations at this time.

Regards,

Suraj
