The City of Rockingham has received a development application for a marina on Rockingham Beach Road.
The proposed new marina would take up room in the vicinity of Lot 150 Rockingham Beach Road, at the corner of Wanliss Street.
Known as the Port Rockingham Marina, the proposal includes an array tourist and residential attractions including two public jetties, 91 short stay accommodation units and A marina groyne/breakwater with 497 boat pens.

“The City is very interested to hear the community’s thoughts about this development application so I encourage anyone with an interest in the proposed marina to make a submission”.
The application will be presented to the City’s Design Review Panel for review before being reported to Council.
The proposal will then be determined by the Joint Development Assessment panel.
