The proponent is committed to developing the marina and associated facilities in a manner which properly addresses environmental and social issues as well as incorporating comprehensive environmental management measures.

As part of the development approval process, a comprehensive assessment of environmental issues has been carried out.

The results of this assessment, as well as construction and operational Environmental Management Plans, were made publicly available as part of the proponents' response to the information request.

Federal Government approval from the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA), is required as the proposed development has been determined to be a ‘controlled action’ to be assessed by Preliminary Documentation.

The Preliminary Documentation has been prepared and DEWHA has issued a "direction to publish" this information. The Preliminary Documentation has therefore been placed on public display for comment until September 23, 2010.

For a detailed explanation of the documentation on display, a list of places where it can be inspected and relevant closing dates for comments and contact details, please click here.
