The placing of structures, including moorings on, or the occupation of, State owned foreshore, requires permission by way of lease or licence in accordance with the requirements of the Foreshore Acts which are administered by my Department.
All applications for foreshore licences in respect of moorings are vetted to ensure that there is no adverse impact on navigational safety, fishing or the environment. The public consultation process consists of a newspaper notice, public availability of maps, drawings, etc. and public hearings, if necessary.
