- Develop a land based platform guide to include: structural materials on the market, suitability of different platforms in different aquatic environments, different stakeholder user needs (e.g. wheelchair access), engineering standards/ requirements. The guide outlines and addresses the current barriers to installing land based platforms (in WA) and aims to identify and address the knowledge gaps of land based platform developments. The guide will include a start to finish process identifying major steps and considerations that are needed to deliver a fishing structure.
- Develop a catalogue and map of land based fishing priorities for Western Australia (marine and freshwater) so the the guide can be used by Recfishwest, Local and State Government to further invest in innovative, cost effective best practice jetty developments
- Develop a case study understanding the social value of Esperance Jetty via surveys of recreational fishers to develop a narrative for the role jetties play in the recreational fishing sector (Esperance Jetty has recently been rebuilt and has a historical fishing value and the new build includes fishing specific design features)
