Jurien Bay Boat Harbour Breakwater Extension - Native Vegetation Survey

A new northern spur groyne is proposed to be built at the Jurien Bay Boat Harbour to help reduce seagrass wrack incursion into the harbour and improve water quality. As part of construction, an approximate area of 6,790 m2 is proposed to be cleared on the northern side of the Boat Harbour for use as a temporary laydown area. Construction works are expected to commence from March 2026, pending detailed design and tendering activities reaching completion. In order to support the Department of Transport (DoT) application for a Native Vegetation Clearing Permit (NVCP), a reconnaissance survey of the flora and vegetation in the potential laydown area is required. The reconnaissance survey should clarify whether the area may support any significant flora or vegetation. The emphasis of the survey is to provide supporting information to DoT in determining conservation values and management requirements within the proposed clearing area. Observations on the condition of the immediate surrounding flora and vegetation should also be recorded.
