The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) invites people to make a submission on the Mangles Bay Marina Based Tourist Precinct proposal. Both electronic and hard copy submissions are most welcome.
Cedar Woods Properties Limited proposes to develop a tourist based marina development within the City of Rockingham, approximately 40km south of Perth. The proposed development is at the southern end of Cockburn Sound, immediately east of the Garden Island Causeway and bounded by Hymus Street / Safety Bay Road to the east. The proposed development would have a single entrance and would accommodate about 500 boats and would incorporate local boating clubs, commercial areas and boat pens for public use. The surrounding land development would be ‘mixed use’ with tourism facilities, accommodation, commercial areas, public open space and residential areas.
In accordance with the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act), and Environmental Scoping Document (ESD) has been prepared in accordance with Western Australian Government procedures and is released for public review. The Environmental Scoping Document describes the proposal, summaries current knowledge about the area, identifies environmental issues associated with the proposal and further works to be carried out and provides an outline of the contents for the Public Environmental Review (PER).
The ESD is available for a public review period of 2 weeks from Monday 7 February 2011 closing on Monday 21 February 2011.
Comments from government agencies and from the public will help the proponent and the EPA finalise the scope of work that will provide the information required for the PER document.
