(1)-(3) The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) provided advice on the environmental values of the area and on earlier marina concepts in October 2006 (EPA Report 1237). The EPA also provided advice about environmental studies that would need to be undertaken. Values identified by the EPA included seagrass and water quality, Lake Richmond and terrestrial vegetation, along with the need to consider the whole of the Cape Peron area.
The EPA has advised me it has not yet received a detailed proposal for the Cape Peron Marina project. The EPA has foreshadowed that when a detailed proposal is developed it will require environmental impact assessment which will include a period of public review where submissions can be made to the EPA.
