“The club is very grateful that Eastland Port have made this parking available as many club members have expressed concern regarding parking over the weekend,” Mr Petrowski said.
“This is a great result, not only for the fishing club but all the other businesses and users within the inner harbour precinct.”
He said the contest would be the biggest event of the year for the club.
Eastland Port is providing free boat trailer parking in the wharf yard.
“We encourage all our competitors and trailer boat owners to make use of this parking to free up parking for other inner harbour patrons,” Mr Petrowski said.
The port will host the cruise ships Explorer Dream, anchored in the bay, and the La Laperouse, berthed on wharf 7, on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Eastland Port's commercial manager Hayden Green said the port was delighted to be able to help the fishing club by making parking space available to competitors.
“It has been great to work collaboratively with the club, and we are also grateful for their support to reduce congestion in the area during a busy weekend for the inner harbour.”
Weighing of fish can be viewed at the club's weigh station from 2pm onwards each day.
“We welcome the public to come along and view the weighing over these three days,” Mr Petrowski said.
The fishing competition parking will be located at the port's inner wharf yard with entry via the port end of the inner harbour.
Parking will be available from 5am–7pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
