POINT PERON — PROPOSED MARINA
615. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the minister representing the Minister for Planning:
I refer to plans to develop a marina at Point Peron.
(1) What is the total area of the cape in hectares?
(2) What is the current ownership structure of the cape; for instance, is it owned by the Department of
Environment and Conservation, the Fremantle port, the City of Rockingham et cetera?
(3) For what purpose is each section of the cape used?
(4) What are the public access and use, restricted or privately owned components?
(5) In response to a question without notice asked on 24 March 2010, the minister stated that if ongoing
dredging is required, the responsibility of such works will be determined as part of the ongoing
management of the marina once it is established. Who will determine the responsibility and who is
performing the ongoing management?

Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY replied:
I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1) The entire cape is a collection of crown reserves and freehold parcels in public ownership totalling
approximately 240 hectares. The Mangles Bay project area is approximately 77 hectares.
