(b) The new speed restrictions were gazetted in the
Western Australian Government Gazette
on 3 December 2013 following the recent Peel Aquatic Use Review undertaken by the Department of Transport. Advertising and enforcement of these speed restrictions is the responsibility of the Department of Transport and a range of user education initiatives including brochures and signs have been put in place.
