DPaW is developing a statewide strategy for the management of public and private moorings in marine reserves. You may be contacted in future regarding this strategy.

NEW MOORINGS: Any installation of a new mooring in a marine reserve will require approval from the DPaW District Manager of the respective marine reserve. Contact the DPaW Moorings Policy Officer on (08) 9334 0594 to obtain the application forms and conditions.

The validity of approval for a mooring will not extend beyond your licence period. Allow plenty of time for your mooring application to be assessed – this may involve taking DPaW staff out to the proposed mooring site so the mooring location can be assessed in terms of environmental protection.
