Peter Mahony Fishing Platform
The Peter Mahony Fishing Platform is located on Casuarina Drive, near the Rapid Creek footbridge. The fishing platform is designed specifically for wheelchair access.
Peter served twenty-two years on the City of Darwin Disability Advisory Committee and was still an active member at the time of his passing on 19 May 2014. Peter was an avid and very prominent advocate on behalf of people with disability and was instrumental in advocating for the construction of the fishing platform. The platform was named in his honour on International Day of People with Disability, 3 December 2014.
The Fishing Platform is fitted with adjustable panels to allow casting from a low height. The panels are kept locked for safety associated with the reduced barrier height. The panels can be unlocked with a Master Locksmith Access Key (MLAK)
