Ocean Reef Marina receives EPA approval – concerns remain

Hon Alison Xamon spoke today regarding the EPA’s recent decision to approve the Ocean Reef Marina development.

“I recognise that a marina project in this area has been highly anticipated by the community for a number of years,” she said, “however, we need to ensure that the very best environmental standards are applied.”

The Marina development will be taking place on Bush Forever Site 325 and in the Marmion Marine Park.

Greens Member for North Metropolitan Hon Alison Xamon MLC has renewed her call for urgent reform to the planning system, following the “extraordinarily disappointing saga” of the Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital site development approvals process.
