Coongul Point precinct Permitted aquaculture • Subsurface lines Site information • The characteristics of the site in this precinct, such as optimal water depth and flushing from the Strait, makes it highly desirable for culturing pearl oyster species. • The proposed design and extent of the line flotation system must have minimal impact on the visual amenity of the area, while maintaining high maritime safety standards. Figure 24: Coongul Point site • This site is within a whale management area of the Great Sandy Marine Park, but is located in a shallow area surrounded by transit routes. Aquaculture equipment must be designed and managed to minimise risks to megafauna. • Additional design and engineering of structures will need to be considered due to high current speed.
