AUSTRALIA: EOI invited for Rockingham
The Government of Western Australia is issuing Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the development and operation of a new private marina at Rockingham in the Perth suburbs. The marina will be located at the intersection of Wanliss Street and Rockingham Beach Road and will be an important coastal landmark for Rockingham and provide a community asset for locals and visitors to enjoy.
The city has long been earmarked as a prime site for a future marina, given the demand for berths in the area and its desirable coastal lifestyle. The growing population of Perth and its southern suburbs reinforces this.
The Department of Transport (DoT) is currently preparing documentation outlining the development opportunity and is asking interested parties to register at www.transport.wa.gov.au
It has been agreed that, where relevant and applicable, any work already undertaken will be built upon to expedite the development of the marina.
“I’m thrilled to be part of a government that is putting early plans in place for a new private marina in Rockingham,” said Rockingham MLA Magenta Marshall. “This development will be an asset to boat owners as well as the wider community and will attract new visitors to our stunning city. Rockingham is home to the best beaches in WA and this marina will maximise our tourism potential while creating local jobs.”
