(b) Yes (c) Tranby Quay Pty Ltd (previous lessee of the Maylands Boat Yard) sought approval over 10 years ago when it was the lessee. (d) No (e) The installation of a fuel dispensing jetty was indicated in the schedule of works required to be undertaken by the previous lessee. However, records show that the Environmental Protection Authority and Swan River Trust advised that any above ground tank needed to be located approximately 150m from the Jetty due to 1 in 100 year flood levels. Such a location would not be practical. The requirement in the lease is therefore impractical to enforce and is being considered for removal as part of the review of the lease. (f) This matter is being examined in the review of the lease.
