QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2009-2014, and in particular initiative 15, ‘Marine Facilities - Boating Management Strategy - Smaller Marina’, and I ask -
(1) How many pens is a marina attached to or associated with the Army Jetty redevelopment likely to cater for, and for what size vessels?
(2) Is such a marina likely to require a sea wall to protect the pens?
(3) Which side of the Army Jetty, and if not that location, which location is being considered for such a marina?
(4) Does the Minister intend that ferries use the Army Jetty?
(5) If yes to (4), which ferries and why?
(6) Would any proposal for any marina development be available for public comment?
(7) How does the Minister propose to handle the extra heavy traffic between the Army Jetty, and the settlement villages?
