Peel Waterways Institute (Educational and research facility)
The proposed Peel Waterways Institute should be the basis for development of the South East Dawesville Foreshore. At present the Mary St Lagoon precinct is the site preferred by Mandurah City Council. The reasons for this preference needs explanation.

Outdoor Gym with water views
Mandurah has wonderful views, but for some strange reason neither the government nor private industry appear to take advantage of them. Other than the Mandurah downtown area, we lack restaurants overlooking the sea or estuary, we don't have clubs (private or public) overlooking our wonderful scenery, we don't have coffee shops or restaurants overlooking these either (aside from a few shacks from the 1950s). This is one of the last water front areas that we have, and I think that it would be a pity to again build another "industrial like" warehouse with no public facilities overlooking the water, or to build more 'empty' grass parks that few people use (we have dozens of those already). I am proposing that in addition to the non power boat ramps (which are needed and welcomed) we build a public (free) outdoor gym similar to the one we have in New South Wales (see photo)

Dawesville Foreshore Master Plan
The 4.2 ha designated as Future Use is of the utmost importance to ensure the relevence of any work to be carried out on the foreshore. The changing of the boundaries of the leased sailing club and the John Tonkin College removes the security of access for non-powered craft (sailing dinghies) to be wheeled onto the beach by hand trolley. Should the planting of trees, shrubs or any solid structure be placed in this area the hazards to young sailors moving or rigging their craft would be increased. Should a solid walkway such as concrete path or a boardwalk be installed the risk to damage of vessels and persons engaged in the carrying or rigging their boats would also be increased.

Launch Facility for powered craft in Dawesville Foreshore Master Plan
In the plan General Notes item 3 it mentioned launch facilities for non-powered craft. The existing Community lease has membership that accesses the boat ramp and jetty (licenced and maintained by club) for the purpose of recreational fishing with powered craft and when the sailing boats are active several power craft are required to supervise, marshal, coach or rescue during training and regattas. The launching of power craft remain essential from this location.

upmarket café/restaurant with attached fenced adventure playground
The whole of Mandurah could do with this. Definitely In need of somewhere to have a nice lunch/evening feed with a childrens play area attached. Coming from the UK nearly every pub had a garden with a play ground, we r definitely lacking in this sort of social amenities. It will be perfect to be able to have a lunch or evening feed whilst kids can safely run around in a nature adventure playground whilst parents can relax and enjoy the weather, views, food and drink and know their children are in the outdoors enjoyin life. Margs has it, why has mandurah/Dawesville have nothing like this??? I have a 6 & 8 yr old and have been looking for summing like this locally since they were born. I can guarantee a lot of other parents would feel the same.
