As members will be aware, WAKSA has been actively engaged in the public consultation process regarding Joondalup's draft Beach Management Plan. We are seriously concerned about the negative changes the plan is proposing for two of Perth's best kiting beaches.
We have been advised that the City of Joondalup received approximately 4600 submissions as part of the process.

The Association organised for a leaflet drop to approximately 7000 houses in the Mullaloo area prior to the consultation process closed and met with the Mayor to discuss our concerns with the draft Beach Management Plan. We also made a formal submission to Joondalup outlining our concerns and suggested a range of alternative outcomes for the City to consider. Copies of the leaflet and the formal submission can be found on our website: www.waksa.com/documents.

The City of Joondalup will be considering what further steps to take at the August council meeting. WAKSA representatives are continuing to lobby council members to ensure that the council has a better understanding of our concerns.
