The EPA initially raised concerns that the project would threaten the habitats of Black Cockatoo and Banksia trees. However, after investigations, the authority finally gave the green flag to the project.

The proposed amount of the project goes up to $100 million. The location was carefully selected for its accessibility and proximity to major roads and public transportation. The planned surf park, being developed by Aventuur, is expected to revolutionize the surfing industry in Western Australia. The aim is to provide a new recreational space for surf enthusiasts of all skill levels.
