Project Proponent South West Development Authority; Department of Marine and Harbours Proposal description The proposal is for a marina development and a rezoning proposal for land-based development. It has been referred following a period of negotiation and discussion between various State and local government agencies involved with the Bunbury Harbour City Concept and the City of Bunbury Town Planning Scheme No 6 Amendment No 82. Amendment No 82 has since been withdrawn from the environmental assessment process. The marina development includes construction of a causeway between the Outer Harbour and Casuarina Harbour; land reclamation to construct a new beach and to provide additional area for development; groynes; marina car-parking; construction of a boat launching ramp, and development of more than 70 additional pens.
