Upon completion, the Ocean Reef Marina project will see the construction of more than 1,000 new housing units, including single-residential homes and apartments.
It will also provide residents, visitors, and tourists with approximately 12,000m² of retail and commercial floor space and more than 5ha of communal area.
WA Premier Roger Cook said: “This iconic development will become one of our city’s most popular destinations for recreational pursuits and boating, with Perth’s first coastal pool, a family beach within the protection of the marina, capacity for up to 550 boat pens, 200 boat stackers, boat ramps and trailer parking.
“Civil works will now begin on Perth’s first coastal pool, which will be a significant tourism drawcard for Ocean Reef and Western Australia.”
