No purchase of any part of Conway National Park. Some lands will be returned to public ownership;
No shipyard;
No ferry terminal;
The proponents will contribute to a new public boat ramp facility;
The development will include public access to the foreshore;
The proponent will create a Reef Conservation Fund to support management strategies for the protection and conservation of the region, specifically the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park
A Cultural Heritage Management Plan has been signed by the Gia and Ngaro/Gia respondent parties and the proponent and registered by the State Department of Natural Resources and Water

The proponent, Shute Harbour Marina Development Pty Ltd, is committed to a planning process that delivers a marina development that is in character with Shute Harbour’s iconic vista and which enhances existing development in the area.
