Aquarama Marina is extremely passionate about working with DPAW (Department of Parks and Wildlife) to maintain a healthy waterway for generations to come. We endeavor to abide by all rules and regulations set out by Government Departments in Australia which directly affect the marina and it’s day to day operations.

Our Slipway conforms to waste water discharge management entering the Swan River and is under continual surveillance to ensure the cleanliness of the discharged water. We and DPAW are working together to ensure a healthy river system.

  • Hydrocarbon spills.
  • Pollution from bilge water.
  • Pollution from storm water run off.
  • Pollution from boat maintenance and slipways.
