South East Dawesville (Channel) Master Plan - Stage 1 Foreshore Design
Update September 2019
Thank you to everyone who was involved in the community engagement program for this project and who gave their time and ideas to form a Master Plan for the South East Dawesville Channel Foreshore.
The final plan is now complete and was endorsed by Council at its August 2019 meeting. Please find a copy of the final here for your information.
The City will now progress with further planning for the implementation of the Master Plan objectives and seek funding to deliver it in stages. Delivery will be subject to confirmed funding through the City's capital budget process.
If you have any queries or questions regarding the South East Dawesville Channel Foreshore Master Plan, please do not hesitate to contact the Project Officer.
Many thanks

A closed in dog park for off lead walks.
An area where the dog owners of Mandurah can take their dogs for off lead walks without the threat of other people becoming upset or playing sports or the dog being able to get out onto the roads etc. We as dog owners have no designated area to take our dogs without the threat of a $400 fine if we don't have them on lead by certain times. We have petitioned for an area for a long time now and this development bring with it the perfect opportunity. Our dogs are like children to us, please consider our feelings on this matter and not just disregard us.

A beach-style non-powered canoe/kayak launch site with space for multiple launching + an all-abilities canoe/kayak launch site
To allow for novices and family paddlers, the minimum requirement would be a sand-based site, five metres long and four metres back from the high-water mark. For paddlers' safety and to avoid conflict with powered craft users, the site would need to be defined by signs. An all-abilities canoe/kayak launch site (adjacent to the suggested non-powered site) would cater for those who use wheelchairs or have limited mobility, We recommend a floating dock to allow paddlers who use wheelchairs to be able to launch and retrieve themselves.

Fenced play area
Would love to see a decent play area suitable for bery young children as well as older kids. Nature based elements would be great but most importantly it needs to be fenced! Safe from the water & roads. Fitness and family areas. However I think that keeping the area safe and habitual for wildlife is of utmost importance.

Sauna/spa idea + multi purpose deck and bon fire for winter hosted events
I like the idea of the outdoor spa, sauna and whirlpool and kayaking previously mentioned. However would like to build on that idea with a multi purpose raised decking for yoga/tai chi, pop up bars/wine nights/private functions and live summer gigs! Creating a fun, lively meeting spot! For winter months a controlled bon fire would be amazing!! Who doesnt love a bonfire and who honestly has space for one these days. Its a multigenerational engagement activity and is instant atmosphere for hosting bonfire nights for families, teens or 18+ events! It creates opportunity for events like indiginous dreamtime story nights, family nights with mulled wine for the adults and star gazing and ghost stories for kids, under 18 nights for school holidays etc. In the Mandurah Matters vision for Mandurah’s future it was identified that ‘meeting places’ and community engagement was important, something to keep in mind.

Whirlpool, Sauna, Steam bath
Lets make the best of this last waterfront location and build something that will generate revenue for the City of Mandurah and fulfill a need that is not currently being met by anyone in this city. Lets build an affordable Whilpool, Sauna and Steambath that is open from very early in the morning (4.30-5am to late at night 10pm) so that people can use it before going to work, after work and in the weekends. This not only goes perfectly well with non power boat water activities like Kayaking, but it is a need that is not currently met by our city (the very limited capacity of the Recreational Center Whirlpool and Sauna is not enough, and is too far away). This would go perfectly with the indoor gym proposed in one of my other posts. If the City of Mandurah wants to become a tourist destination of world class, we need to up our game. We have great views, but seriously limited offerings like the one being proposed.
