The Blackwood District of Parks and Wildlife requires the supply and delivery of an open 5.5m to 5.8m Rigid Hull Inflatable (or foam-filled pontoon) vessel (and trailer) to be utilised in marine protected area management off the Western Australian coastline. This vessel will be used primarily as part of the management of Ngari Capes Marine Park, to a lesser extent the island nature reserves beyond the Marine Park’s boundaries, for support of other Regional marine operations and potentially as part of interagency operations with the Department of Fisheries.

The vessel is to be based in Margaret River, which serves as one of the operational bases for the Marine Rangers.
