The "Save Matilda Bay" campaign is a community-led movement opposing the Western Australian Government’s $107 million plan to build a 140-metre-long, 18-metre-wide ferry terminal and on-shore charging station at central Matilda Bay as part of the Metronet Swan River ferry network expansion

Safety Risks where opponents argue that a large four-berth commercial ferry terminal running services from 6:00 AM to midnight will create dangerous traffic collisions with small watercraft, junior rowers, families, and programs like Sailability WA (disability and blind sailing)

Environmental & Heritage Impact concerns include potential disruption to black swans, dolphins, and migratory birds, loss of shoreline tree canopy, and a permanent change to a sacred Noongar cultural landscape (with a heritage protection application lodged under federal law).
