The committee recommended the council adopt that position as well as transferring the resource consents for the ramps to the club, after commodore Kevin Murdoch presented the club's case for ownership of the ramps at this month's committee meeting. However, it is proposed to leave this discussion until after the Oamaru Harbour Space Masterplan is completed." Revenue from the ramps helped the club survive.
