We, the undersigned residents and community members, call on the City of Wanneroo to proceed with the proposed fishing platform at Quinns Rocks Beach.

Quinns Rocks is a family beach. A fishing platform gives kids, families, and older residents a safe and accessible place to enjoy the water's edge. For people with mobility challenges or disabilities, a properly built platform may be the only way they can get close to the ocean at all. That matters.

We reject the call to abandon this project based on a small number of opposing signatures. A few dozen names do not represent this community. Thousands of families across Quinns Rocks, Mindarie, and Clarkson use this beach and deserve a say too.

Fishing jetties and platforms are beloved community assets all along the WA coast. They bring families together, they give kids something to do, and they become the kind of place people talk about for the rest of their lives.

We do not oppose safety, good parking solutions, or proper consultation. We support all of those things. But the answer to those concerns is better planning — not scrapping the project entirely.

We call on the City of Wanneroo to:

Proceed with the fishing platform

Design it with full disabled access including ramps and wide decking

Consider making it larger to serve the whole community properly

Run genuine suburb-wide consultation rather than responding to whichever group organised fastest

Don't take this away from the families, the kids, and the people who need it most
