Finally - the foreshore in Albany is to be developed!

This is an aerial shot of the foreshore in Albany where I live.
For the past twenty years or so there have been attempts made to develop it from the wasteland that it currently is into a vibrant and interesting place to visit. These attempts have been stymied by a vocal minority who have finally been overcome!


The plan includes:

• a fantastic new entertainment centre
• a harbour village for commercial and short stay tourist accommodation
• a small boat harbour with wave protection
• retention of Town Jetty as the spine of the development
• integration of activities back into Albany Town Centre via afootbridge (currently under construction)
  
• 21,000 sq m of commercial/tourist development
• retention of the existing groyne
• seven pens adjacent to the tourist precinct for charter boats
• 36 pens for 10-15 m recreational boats
• a small boat launching ramp and support facilities
• a wharf and 10 pens for the fishing industry
• a fishing industry precinct
• a port use precinc

This is a sketch of the basic plan layout.













Here is an artists representation of how it will look and as you can see it will transform the area.
