This road network, contained within the study area, accommodates primarily light vehicles accessing the marina boat ramp and associated marine industry businesses. Truck access is required for marine industry use on a periodic basis.

Pedestrian connections are also available from the town centre to the marina. These are via steps in the limestone wall structure, accounting for the substantial level difference between town centre and marina. Universal access between the town centre and marina is currently not provided.

A Long Term Plan

The Department of Transport is responsible for management, maintenance and future planning of the Two Rocks Marina. The Department assumed management responsibility of the facility in 2014, following many years of private management. Upon taking over the facility, a comprehensive asset and maintenance review was undertaken, with a number of immediate actions identified, including reinforcements to the existing marina breakwaters, upgrades to jetties, removal of abandoned boats and associated security fencing.

Many of the urgent replacement works have now been completed, or are ongoing. This process has highlighted the need for a longer term, strategic vision, to provide guidance on future design and development of the marina. The plan needs to account for a range of ongoing challenges around the operation of the marina, the age and quality of existing buildings, and potential long term expansion, to help bolster the capacity of the local marine industry as well as offer improved tourist and recreational amenities. The long term plan provides context for government’s investment in infrastructure replacement, upgrades and improvements to meet the needs of users. The master plan will therefore guide medium and long term investment into the harbour.

This included a $6m “rescue package” and industry is therefore important - particularly within the context significant additional financial commitments from government of relatively few areas of employment potential within the local for maintenance and repairs to failing infrastructure. region.

This work triggered the formation of the Two Rocks Marina Reference Group, established to help the Department of Transport consider the long term vision for the marina, with a view to creating local jobs. Through engagement with the Two Rocks Marina Reference Group, the need for a long term master plan was identified.

What we are hoping to achieve with the master plan Two Rocks Marina Vision: The intent of the master plan is to capture ideas which establish a common long term vision shared with the community. It is a framework for the overall arrangement of the marina, Two Rocks is an oceanside village; establishing its key structuring elements such as road networks, the heart of tourism and maritime intended land uses, recreation spaces, infrastructure and amenities. Because the master plan provides a long term activity in the north-west, a centre of framework, this can guide future design and planning that excellence for fresh local produce, and addresses each area in more detail. a place for the whole community, new The master plan provides stakeholders, government and the and existing. community an understanding of the future intent of the marina, identifying key precincts within which detailed planning can occur.

Visioning

The master plan has been prepared using a collaborative process with the Two Rocks Marina Reference Group, Department of Transport and its expert consultants. This included inputs from marine and coastal engineers.

The visioning process commenced in late 2017 with the announcement of a Reference Group to develop a vision for the long term expansion of the marina. The Reference Group met over the course of 2018, considering typical marina design principles and requirements, the technical studies , user needs and the quality of the existing assets.

Once the basis for design was understood,a workshopping process was undertaken which encouraged the Reference Group to identify long term priorities, help define a vision, and establish the preferred long term layout of the marina.

Following the initial workshop sessions, three draft master plan options were prepared for review by the Two Rocks Marina Reference Group and Department of Transport. Options were tested and refined from three to two, where another workshop was held with the Reference Group.

The Concept The Key Moves

The master plan concept is the culmination of an extensive Through engagement with the Two Rocks Marina Reference engagement process undertaken by the Department of Transport Group, Department of Transport and expert consultants, seven with its key stakeholders, represented by the Two Rocks Marina key moves have been identified for the marina’s long term. Each Reference Group. The master plan establishes a framework for one aims to deliver on the key objectives and vision for the Two future development of the marina and allows the Department to Rocks Marina. effect short term improvements without impeding the longer term vision. Short term improvements have already been 1.

The The engagement process established a core set of ideas, which size and location of the beach is based on case study form the ten key moves outlined below. comparison with other Department of Transport marinas, including Hillarys, its relationship to the adjacent future ‘tourism Long term Marina and Employment Capacity and restaurant hub’ and an area required to provide a secure The basis for long term expansion of the marina relates to two foundation for retention of beach sand. The marina beach is key fundamentals within Perth’s north west corridor. Firstly – the supported by adjacent car parking, pedestrian access to population is growing rapidly and will require access to regional Sovereign Drive and a boardwalk extension to create a safe recreation amenities that marinas can provide; secondly and swimming environment away from boat movements.

A public berth is located off the hub, offering potential for ferry connections to Rottnest, or short term visitor berthing. Importantly, space is provided for economic activity and jobs. Exact building heights need to be further tested, however a scale that promotes pedestrian comfort and protects views from the existing Two Rocks town centre and residential neighbourhood is an appropriate consideration. This may be generally three storeys.

Considerations _ Buildings designed and arranged to provide views through to the water, and especially from Pope Street. _ Building scale limited to ensure continued views for existing residents along Sovereign Drive. _ Any car parking to be provided centrally, allowing continual pedestrian movement around the hub. _ Connection pathways provided up to the existing town centre. _ Buildings designed to provide areas shielded from strong breezes.

3. A New Marina Boulevard and Improved Connectivity 4. A Connected Waterfront Park A key organising element to the master plan is the new marina Running north to south throughout the project area, a connected boulevard. This road provides pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle series of park spaces is provided, offering substantial public access to the various landside parts of the marina. It is amenity. Containing a variety of activity spaces ad areas, the connected to Jordan Street and Marcon Street in the south, with park provides public access and enjoyment of the marina.

To the east of the new marina boulevard, the potential for residential development lots has been identified. This would allow passive surveillance and a degree of activity at the southern edge of the marina, and allow a smooth transition to future residential development within the town centre. The potential for residential lots requires further investigation, particularly with regard to the designation of the existing coastal reservation, City of Wanneroo controlled land and relationship to future development east of Jordan Street.

Considerations _ Further investigation required for identified residential development lots, including designation of Bush Forever land. _ Provide a commercial lease opportunity within the parkland enabling activation, passive surveillance and amenity for park users.

28 Two Rocks Marina Master Plan Report 05 The Master Plan Concept

6. An Expanded Recreational Boating Precinct A critical component of the marina master plan is long term provision for boat ramps and associated car parking demand. Eight boat ramps are provided for, a number expected to cater for the increasing population over time. A substantial car and trailer parking area is provided immediately adjacent to the boat ramps. The car parking area can also be used by visitors to the beach, yacht club and adjacent commercial buildings. The Sun City Yacht Club is provided with a long term lease opportunity adjacent to pens and the boat ramps. The Volunteer Sea Rescue is also provided a location with good oversight of the boat ramps and boating lanes. Toilets and shower/changeroom facilities are provided for boat users.

Considerations _ Provide boat trailer parking bays to accommodate for 8 boat ramps as required by the Australian Standards _ Provide flexible opportunities for recreational clubs and community facilities including boat and fishing clubs, yacht club and sea rescue.

7. A Marine Industry Hub A zone for marine industry is provided in the north of the master plan area. A substantial secured yard offers space for boat lifting and maintenance of large vessels. A large boat stacker for approximately 200 vessels is accommodated, along with associated office space for marine businesses. A receivals depot provides ongoing certainty for the local crayfishing industry, with associated commercial jetty and pens providing ease of access. A fuel facility and turnaround for fuel trucks is incorporated, with fuel tanks located below ground to minimise visual impacts. Area is provided around the marine industry zone for screening planting.

Considerations _ Consider opportunities to enable short and long range views throughout. _ Improve waterfront access throughout the precinct whilst managing secure access where it is required. _ Introduce better urban water management tools to control water quality.

Implementation Plan

The Two Rocks Marina Master plan (the Master plan) is an aspirational long-term vision for the future of the marina. To achieve the ultimate vision, the master plan identifies numerous ‘projects’, generally independent of each other; but that can each contribute to ongoing improvements in the marina over time.

Several of the projects are located in areas that are currently part of the water body. Figure 5 shows the Master plan overlain with the existing boundary and land area of the marina, clearly identifying a number of key projects that require substantial reclamation and breakwater construction in order to be implemented.

There are also several projects that are implicit in the design but not shown. For example, the upgrading of infrastructure and the provision of adequate underground services are fundamental elements of the marina to achieve the long term vision.

Finally, there are several elements that will require ongoing design discussions before being implemented. An example includes the long-term location of the Yacht Club, which is currently in the southern area of the marina. The existing location provides the optimal training ground for new sailors, in well protected water, whilst a longer term growth scenario could consider an additional or alternative location to the north with direct access to pens that is typical of yacht clubs elsewhere. These types of projects have been provided as much flexibility as possible in the Master Plan to allow for decision making at the relevant time.

Project Priorities PRECINCT PLANS The master plan represents a collection of diverse stakeholder interests and the implementation strategy is defined to achieve a balanced approach to meet all stakeholder interests. The implementation priorities are therefore informed by the following criteria, which are each essential considerations for the State in delivering best practice marina facilities. TRANSITION TO Priority Maintenance – for infrastructure improvements in the marina that are deemed VISION to be of an urgent or critical nature to maintain functional and safe operations of the marina. In many cases these projects will be undertaken as necessary, but may also stimulate investment in other projects. IMMEDIATE Community Benefit PROJECTS – projects that meet a priority need as expressed by the community. These can include small projects that assist in the enjoyment of the marina such as seating and benches, or larger projects such as the development of entertainment and recreational sites or facilities.

Commercial Needs – those projects that deliver a commercial benefit to the marina, such as maritime industry infrastructure and boating infrastructure, but can also include commercial development for cafes and restaurants. SHORT TERM PROJECTS Governance – projects that are necessary for the responsible management of the marina, to ensure it meets the needs of the community and industry and establishes a high quality and enduring investment in the marina.

Essential Infrastructure – those projects that are considered essential in marinas, and without which the marina cannot achieve its full potential. These projects may include infrastructure upgrades and extensions to the breakwaters to enable other development and may also SHORT - include staged interim infrastructure before longer term expansion. MEDIUM TERM PROJECTS Land and Water Site Assembly – the availability of the land and marina area required to deliver projects. This is significant in the context of Two Rocks Marina, where most of the long-term projects will be in areas that are currently in water and/or outside of the existing marina reserve boundary.

The projects identified during the master B plan process are shown in Figure 6 and an F analysis of the projects against the C K priority criteria is included in Table 1. The project list is not finite and detailed planning may resolve additional projects to meet needs and enable future D development. This analysis illustrates the complexity of the various projects, the importance of timing and staging, and offers a realistic implementation plan to achieve the aspirational vision for the future of the marina. G

The redevelopment of the marina over Q time is an exciting opportunity for Perth’s northern suburbs. While the exact timing relies on funding availability, there remain plentiful opportunities for the marina to refresh and renew, and this Implementation Plan provides a road map to ensuring the facility continues to P improve and become the heart of the community once again.

Short and Short-Medium Term Activation Projects

Short and Short-Medium term projects have been identified that will deliver infrastructure to activate and energise the marina.

The delivery of an exciting central plaza, G amenities cafes and restaurants in a landscaped area create a community focus to the marina, whilst a second precinct in the south adjacent to the boat launching ramps including barbecues, seating and shelter will significantly improve the community experience in this area.

The projects may evolve as funding becomes available, but these small projects will begin to build a strong community at the harbour and underpin the vision for the future of the marina. Figure 7: Short Term Activation Plan
