Mordialloc Boating and Angling Club

The Mordialloc Boating and Angling Club (MBAC), formerly the Mordialloc Boat Owners Association, was formed in July 1946.

There are currently approximately 80 members of the MBAC, the majority being aged between 50 and 80 years.

MBAC members own and maintain the majority of the traditional wooden boats moored within Mordialloc Creek and as such we are an important organisation with regard to protecting the heritage character of the creek.  An important part of wooden boat maintenance is the annual “slipping” for maintenance, below water inspection and re-application of anti-foul coatings. 

Historical records indicates that the MBAC have occupied the current site since the 1950’s, with the current slipway being re-built by members of the MBAC in 2011-2012.  

The MBAC is a member of the Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA), being recognised as a community-based, non-profit, non-commercial organisation which provides a safe, friendly and healthy environment where men are able to work on meaningful projects in the company of other men.  Consistent with the AMSA, a major objective of the MBAC is to advance the well-being and health of our members and to encourage social inclusion.
