4 (Lots 300, 14555, 10605, 2885 and 11627) Australia II Drive, Crawley: Proposed new ferry terminal and associated facilities: Western Australian Planning Commission Development ApplicationUnanimousCarried 8–0. In line with the promise: a Yes vote.
Why
Sends Council's 30 September 2025 position to the WAPC, which did not support the Matilda Bay ferry terminal in its current design partly because it would reduce green space at Matilda Bay, and asks the proponent to cut the terminal's footprint on the foreshore reserve (28 Oct 2025 SCM minutes pp.96-98).
