Mangles Bay Marina Essay
The Mangles Bay Marina was a development decision proposed by Cranford Pty Ltd and the Western Australian Land Authority. The proposal is to create an onshore marina to provide up to 500 boat anchorages and an adjoining land development encompassing tourism, commercial and leisure opportunities as well as civic recreational space and suburban land practices. This proposal was assessed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of Western Australia to evaluate the degree to which the proposed development would impact upon the environment.

Significant complications can arise from not incorporating the EIA process into a business’s decision-making. These include unsustainable behaviour such as resource exhaustion, civic disapproval, financial instability and unexpected costs and liability for the destruction of the natural environment and its resources. EIA produces methods to decrease undesirable outcomes, influencing development plans to better match the environment. Before plans are undertaken, the EIA process offers decisions and expectations to the projects proponents.
The interpretation of EIA is a very important factor in how the environment is managed. Bartlett 1986 interprets EIA as more of a tool for manipulating outcomes rather than delivery of knowledge. He argues the definitive reason for EIA is inevitably centred on the concept of logical administrative procedures. More accurately, that EIA is aimed at accomplishing ‘environmental …show more content…
The creation of this legislature was largely an administrative reaction to a surge in general interest in relation to the concerns about contemporary growth movements and the obvious disappointment of current assessment instruments to tackle these matters sufficiently.
The practice of EIA encounters a high level of scrutiny in relation to both its ability to produce appropriate, comprehensive guidance and productivity in terms of its aptitude to recognise, comprehend and regulate the fast growing scale of environmental affairs, threats and outcomes to civic wellbeing and significant ecological standards. It has been largely recognized that EIA exhibits more in philosophy than it provides in performance.
Substantive aspects of EIA refer to written statutory rules enacted by legislature. These define rights and responsibilities as set by parliament. Examples of these include that of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 and the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). Glasson et al (1999) describes the substantive objectives of EIA as, in a prolonged duration, evaluations of a preventive nature ought to communally influence a more ecological method of growth, in which an impartial stability is reached among financial, societal and environmental
