24.6 OVERSEAS TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (OTC)CABLEIn June 1985, an armoured submarine OTC cable was laid in a series of curves around the high reefsto make landfall at Whitford Beach.ActionNo anchoring will be permitted within 500m of the OTC cable path, as notified by theDepartment of Marine and Harbours.24.7 MARINASMarina facilities exist adjacent to, but outside, the Park at Hillarys Boat Harbour and the Ocean Reeflaunching facility. The Hillarys Boat Harbour provides facilities for concession operations andservices to Park visitors. Developments planned for the Ocean Reef facility would change its existingstatus. Marinas require consideration of equity to all Park users, the environmental impact on naturalresources and the effect of increasing subsidiary management costs of the Park.All proposed marina developments are subject to environmental impact assessment in accordancewith the Environmental Protection Act. The Environmental Protection Authority liaises with CALM.ActionDiscourage construction of marinas in the Park.24.8 BOAT RAMPSBoat launching facilities at Hillarys Boat Harbour and Ocean Reef cater for up to 700 trailer craft perday. Small craft also launch from the beach at Mullaloo Point, a small shallow water ramp at TriggIsland and a private ramp at the Marmion Angling and Aquatic Club. The projected increase inpopulation in the North West Corridor is likely to increase boat ownership by up to 200% during theterm of this plan.Action51
Proposed sites, development and construction methods for boat ramps, other than thoseidentified, must have prior approval from CALM.24.9 DRAINAGE AND DISCHARGEStormwater drains enter Park waters at only a few locations bordering the City of Stirling and the Cityof Wanneroo. Secondary treated effluent from the Beenyup Waste Water Treatment Plant is pumped1.6km offshore. This is to be duplicated. The EPA gave qualified approval, subject to conditionsensuring that the combined nutrient loading from both pipelines does not exceed the maximum loadset for the original single outfall (EPA, 1990). The EPA also required the Water Authority of W.A. toconduct studies of water circulation, nutrient levels, and other matters relating to the potential impactsof the Beenyup outfalls. Drainage and discharge into the Hillarys Boat Harbour is regularlymonitored and must meet standards established by the EPA.Actions1. Maintain liaison with the Water Authority, EPA, and the City of Wanneroo toensure adequate conditions are set to minimise the detrimental environmentaleffects of outfalls.2. Ensure the EPA recommendations that limit nutrient levels and require appropriateresearch and monitoring programs are implemented.24.10 LITTERLitter is common and obvious at most times on beaches in the Marine Park. Both recreational usersand commercial fishers contribute to the litter problem, which detracts from the Park environment,aesthetically and biologically. Some types of litter, for example plastic binders of 'six-packs', can killwildlife, particularly sea birds.Actions1. Develop education programs to encourage the proper disposal of litter. Liaise withlocal authorities and other relevant agencies regarding the provision of disposal facilitiesonshore.52
