Proposed developments involving marinas and mooring structures along the River Murray in South Australia must be assessed and approved by the Department of Planning and Local Government as well as the councils in which they are located.
Marinas are facilities to accommodate houseboats and other large river craft, and may include dwellings and commercial facilities. Mooring structures are structures built in marinas, along the riverbank or on the riverbed to secure river craft.
The
Guide to Marina and Mooring Structure Development Along the River Murray in South Australia (PDF 2MB) provides directions for developers, councils and the community regarding where and how marina and mooring structures should be built. It includes a
site suitability checklist (Word 94KB)to ensure that developments are located in appropriate places and are environmentally and economically sustainable.
The guide should be read in conjunction with the
Environment Protection Authority's Code of Practice for Vessel and Facility management: Marina and Inland Waters (2008) (PDF 1.4MB).
