ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The 17th AGM of the Port Mandurah Residents’
Association was held on 2nd February 2012 at E2C. It
was attended by 28 members, which doesn’t sound so many, but
considering the wild weather we had that evening (courtesy of ex
tropical cyclone Iggy) we were lucky to achieve a
quorum!
Annual Report by Selby Munsie
What have we been
doing?
·
Navigation lights on
bridges.
·
Request recently submitted to the Department of Transport
(DoT) for lights in the Leisure Way Canal
entrance.
·
Short-term rentals with regard to noisy tenants and
anti-social behaviour.
·
Silt barriers for Henry Sutton Grove. A feasibility study
will take place once the current sand bypass study has been
completed.
·
Dredging of the Fairbridge Bank. We are well aware that
it was not taken into the entrance of Sovereign Gardens/Cambria
Island. We are still pushing for the purchase of a dredge jointly
owned by Mandurah, Murray and Waroona local
governments.
·
Request recently submitted to DoT for a copy of the
statistics arising from the jetty inspections in Port
Mandurah.
·
Request to DoT for a more rigorous inspection over
Christmas re. navigation lights, speeding and non-registered
skippers in hired boats.
·
New estuary bridge; we need detail before it is a “fait
accompli”. So far no information, but we will keep the pressure
on.
PMRA is currently negotiating on your
behalf about the Specified Area Rate (SAR) that you pay to the City
of Mandurah for the upkeep of the waterways, regarding how it is
managed and spent. We are also campaigning for the abolition of
jetty license fees.
