DCA welcomes City of Fremantle, City of Joondalup and City of Mandurah to the PinForce family, joining the Rottnest Island Authority who jumped on board earlier this year.

The PinForce suite of products continues to be the outright recognised industry leader with:

• City of Fremantle's transition to PinForce Mobile from Wilsons Technology
• City of Joondalup's selection of PinForce Mobile after a trial that included Duncan Solutions
• City of Perth's recent expansion to PinForce Sentinel installing 500 sensors.

A combination of PinForce City Wide and PinForce Mobile fulfills the requirements of the Rottnest Island Authority to maintain a database of registered boats and manage infringements relating to boating activity on the island.

City Wide is used to enter and maintain registration details to the database and search existing details to check that boats visiting the island have paid admission fees and have not overstayed.  

PinForce Mobile is used to issue a wide range of infringements, for example:

• failing or refusing to pay admission
• installing a mooring without permission
• failing to provide copy of mooring inspection
• using apparatus other than beach anchor
• interfering with fauna or habitat
• exceeding speed limit
• littering
• being in a protected area without permission
• securing a vessel to a structure not designed for that use.
