Proposed Fremantle Harbor River Scheme Outline
The plan describes extending the North Mole and building an island breakwater along Minden Reef to create a dredged channel to Owen's Anchorage. It calls converting the South Mole into a double wharf, adding a 700 ft jetty for mail and passengers, plus three tidal basins with extensive wharfage. Docks would reclaim 200 to 300 acres, easing land resumptions and expanding wheat export facilities.
