POEM has never objected to the Cattle Bay marina. We did object to a statement in the Cattle Bay DA that the Snug Cove marina project should be ranked second after the Cattle Bay marina as we considered that neither project should have preference over the other.
To support our argument against being ranked second we pointed out that the Snug Cove safe harbour/marina project has Government funding for its attenuator.
We are, of course, aware that there is a range of views in the community about the merits and prospects of the Cattle Bay development but POEM has never had or expressed a policy of opposing the Cattle Bay Marina.
Robert Bain, POEM
