City of Mandurah councillors have voted to proceed with the Western Foreshore commercial development.
The decision to go ahead with a microbrewery, mini-golf course and chocolate factory was made at Tuesday night's Council meeting, the first to be livestreamed.
Two motions were considered, the first which called on the Council to rescind its previous decision to proceed with the development and a vote be retaken.
The second was for proper consultation to take place with the Aboriginal community if the first motion is moved.
"There was a full council chamber and Tuckey room for last night's meeting, plus we heard 11 thoughtful and respectful deputations both for and against the proposal," Mandurah CEO Casey Mihovilovich said.
"While Council acknowledged the motions put forward at the Annual Electors Meeting, Council reaffirmed its commitment to the project which will bring the foreshore to life with new attractions, support local jobs and boost the local economy, while ensuring the area remains a vibrant, welcoming space for our community.
"The project will now proceed to the next stages including through to the State Government where the land transaction will be publicly advertised, but we don't have a timeframe for that yet."
