CASH SPLASH! Perth’s first sea pool expenditure rises The WA government have tipped a further $96.5 million into the Ocean Reef Marina waterfront precinct which will house Perth’s first sea pool.

Sold for $1 to develop for profit.

1200 + new residences intended by CoJ in the ORM housing development.
Means 400 + more cats!
And that's not going destroy any remnant of the hundred + of wildlife???

MARINA TURNED into HOUSING DEVELOPMENT.

Life's BEAUTY UP CLOSE
The SEA is as near as we come to ANOTHER WORLD

REMEMBER who the PROPONENTS are.

"Ocean Reef - a case study in the triumph of simplistic growthmania developer lobby Economics over sustainable Environment.

Endangered Australian Sea-Lion a Priority?
DEFINITELY NOT for the PROPONENTS of ORM...
Never forget what these individuals and groups have destroyed for their own personal gain....

Meet the Australian sea lion 🌊🦁 – this endangered mammal is found only in the waters off South Australia and Western Australia.

The Australian sea lion is one of six threatened species found in Australian Marine Parks recently identified as a priority ❗ for national recovery efforts.

Last month, the Threatened Species Commissioner launched the Australian Government’s Threatened Species Strategy’s first 5-year Action Plan. Other threatened species found in Australian Marine Parks identified as a priority include the freshwater sawfish, the grey nurse shark (eastern), the green turtle, the olive ridley turtle, and the short-nosed sea snake.

Australian Marine Parks are important places in helping conserve our biodiversity and protect threatened species 🤗.

The action plan sets out specific targets 🎯 and activities to improve the trajectory of 100 priority species and 20 priority places over the next 5 🖐️ years. You can read more here: https://bit.ly/3sCzYpK

Injured sea lion at Ocean Reef.

Parks and Wildlife Service officers attended Ocean Reef Marina late this afternoon, Tuesday 8 March, following reports of an injured Australian sea lion on the beach. Our officers will return at first light tomorrow to further assess the sea lion’s condition and determine the next steps.

Signage is in place and we ask people to please stay away from the area to avoid causing the sea lion any further stress.

Thank you to City of Joondalup rangers for assisting our officers this afternoon.

If you see sick or injured wildlife please call the Wildcare Helpline on 9474 9055.

Sea Level Rise a Reality in Australia

'We've worked our whole life, this is our family home': What the future of climate change means for coastal property owners For decades Australians have happily paid a premium for their very own piece of coastline. But with up to a metre of sea-level rise all but locked in by the end of the century, will waterfront living remain a viable option?

296 pieces of shot cord picked up yesterday from this development.
Can someone explain to us what is the purpose of highest level of environmental assessment... ... apart from giving permission to destroy our vitally important "protected" natural spaces for profit?
Where are the proponents with their fake photo opportunities and scripted media releases now?

SURFONOMICS: THE FINANCIAL LOGIC TO MAKING AND SAVING WAVES
The new branch of economics every surf town needs.

From the shore, it is just a regular spring day for the residents of Ocean Reef in Perth’s northern coast. In the water, the long-period swells and light easterly winds make it a perfect morning to surf Pylons. The hum of waves can still be heard over the construction machinery operating at the new nearby piers. By the end of summer, three Ocean Reef surf breaks – Mossies, Big Rock and Pylons – will no longer be heard, as they will be lost to the new marina.

The future Ocean Reef Marina will transform 1.5 km of coastline into a “thriving” hub of shopping outlets, restaurants, boat moorings and Perth’s first coastal pool. The project – receiving $252m of public funding – first included an artificial surf reef to compensate for the destruction of the three natural breaks. At a later stage, the artificial reef was sidelined as a “potential future amenity”, with the City of Joondalup explaining the cut was due to the reef’s cost of $7m.

You do not need a doctorate in economics to realise that a big part of the equation is missing here. While financial profits are grabbing the headlines, the worth of social and environmental values are not properly accounted for in the planning process. The consequence is that costal assets are being lost without adequate consideration and due compensation for what they are really worth.

I have spent my career studying environmental management and policy. I am also an avid surfer, Yes, it is true that benefits such as mental health and social connections are harder to measure than jobs and retail sales, but the research tells us that the ocean’s intangible benefits are actually worth millions of dollars.

Myself and other researchers are now using Surfing Economics to apply well-established scientific methods to reveal the true value of surfing – and the numbers are eye-watering.

Ex-sea sports club boss faces shock money theft charges Ocean Reef Sea Sports Club members are reeling from the news the former manager has been charged with stealing thousands of dollars from the club.

SOUNDS SUSPICIOUSLY FAMILIAR
“The overall impact of concessions and agreements on such matters as height controls, parking spaces and public space was gradual, uncoordinated erosion of an earlier vision.
“Council’s lack of strategic oversight effectively allowed the area to develop in line with the developer’s objectives rather than the original plan.”
