Terms of Reference:

We the undersigned citizens of Western Australia Want the area known as Point Peron/Cape Peron, City of Rockingham in the State of Western Australia to remain in Perpetuity as Parks and Recreation and that an inland Marina not be built. Further that any improvements made to the area do conserve the natural environment and provide for continual access by people of all socio-economic groups.

We request that the Council ensure;

That studies of the impact on the natural environment of a proposed Marina and any developments not associated with the Marina be assessed preferably as any part of the Metropolitan Region Scheme amendment, necessary for such a marina or other developments and that this should include effect on sand erosion, seagrass, littoral drift, algal growth and flushing of Cockburn Sound.

That the land now currently zoned for Parks and Recreation and Port Installations does not become privately owned or leased for 99 years for commercial development and that access remains for the public for the purpose of recreation and holiday accommodation.
That a study on the need for such a Marina and or other developments is completed and made available to the public prior to any rezoning or development.
