Initially a comprehensive survey of all available rescue facilities was made and analysed. One area highlighted was the need for suitable off-the-beach rescue craft to be located at strategic places, and with quick call-out times. This was achieved by funding patrol boats at clubs around the bay (for example ‘Balnarring Patrol’ at WYC) and by arranging trained skippers and crew to be available at short notice. Those boats which were initially funded by WSC by agreement became the property of the club after one year.

In a number of past years the State Government made a state-wide distribution of funds for water safety services. WSC co-ordinated the distribution of those funds which related to rescue facilities at Western Port Bay clubs. Most yachting and angling clubs around the bay have received considerable assistance in the funding of equipment by this means over the years.

To co-ordinate all the available rescue facilities around Western Port Bay a comprehensive radio network was needed. The establishment and organising of radio networks formed one of the largest aspects of WSC’s activities. Base stations were established at twelve yacht and angling clubs around the bay, and at the Harbourmaster’s
office, with each base operating its own network of mobile (boat) stations; totalling approximately 1000 mobiles in all. WSC provides overall guidance, supervision and liaison with the authorities. This co-ordinated planning of Club radio networks as introduced in Western Port is believed to have been unique in Australia. An after-hours radio watching service now exists around Western Port Bay, which enables skippers of boats to advise their destination, expected return times, etc. The service also takes other messages, particularly those relating to emergencies, and advises regarding weather conditions.

All search and rescue activities are normally under the control of the Victoria Police (Water Police), with which WSC enjoys close co-operation. Collectively the affiliated organisations provide a 24-hour per day rescue service which is available at call by Victoria Police, or by local request.
