South Thomson Development Barge Landing Project

The Proposal is to extend and redevelop the existing Army Groyne into a barge operations facility in South Thomson Bay at Wadjemup / Rottnest Island. The Proposal includes:

• Dredging for the purpose of construction for a breakwater/laydown area and for a barge turning circle.
• Use of dredge spoil for re-use as reclamation to create a laydown area.
• Extension of the existing Army Groyne to create a breakwater.
• Barge landing ramp.
• Ferry berth.
• Small craft landing facility.
• Fuel storage and refuelling facility.
• Onshore storage shed.
• Upgrade to the onshore access road.
• Utility service connections (water, power, communications).
