(2) There are currently four full time Marine officers to cover the Peel Region on a seven-day week basis with emphasis on weekends and public holidays. During the busier summer season, an additional four temporary Marine Officers are contracted to support all metropolitan operations and assist at Mandurah as required. The Department for Planning and Infrastructure has also cross-authorised four Mandurah Fisheries WA Officers and six City of Mandurah Rangers to enable them to monitor compliance with good order regulations on the waterways. In addition, a new initiative is the appointment of Volunteer Safety Liaison Officers to assist with the provision of education and advice to recreational boat users in the area. It is envisaged that there will be three or four such volunteers lending assistance in Mandurah next summer.
