A Western Australian local council is continuing to back a major entertainment and hospitality complex planned for a site with Aboriginal heritage significance, despite pleas from the local Indigenous community backed by more than 100 ratepayers.

On Tuesday only four councillors backed a motion, voted for by 105 ratepayers at the City of Mandurah's annual electors meeting earlier this month, asking the City council to rescind its decision regarding a lease granted to Left Coast Leisure Group for a 650-seat brewery/restaurant, chocolate factory and 18-hole mini golf on the Western Foreshore.

Cr David Schumacher moved the motion, which was seconded by Cr Ahmed Zilani, Cr Ryan Burns and Cr Jacob Cumberworth, but the balance of the council - Cr Shane Wright, Cr Daniel Wilkins, Cr Bob Pond, Cr Jess Smith, Cr Amber Kearns, Mayor Caroline Knight, Cr Peter Jackson and Cr Peter Rogers – voted it down, the Mandurah Times reports.

Kaye Bernard gave a deposition from the Nala Boodja Aboriginal Corporation saying Lavan Legal had written to the council on the corporation's behalf revealing Western Australia's official map of recognised Aboriginal heritage places "clearly includes the location of the proposed development".

"Aboriginal people in the town do not want this pub," Ms Bernard said.

"It's a sacred heritage ground for our people, for 1000s of years we've been meeting there."

Mandurah is just over 70km south of Boorloo/Perth.

The Heritage map encompasses most of the Western Foreshore and includes a Noongar camp where George Winjan, an Aboriginal Elder, lived in the 19th century, the Mandurah Times reports.

The City of Mandurah Director of Business Services, Tahlia Jones, said the WA Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage confirmed on Tuesday that works would not fall within Winjan's Camp.

However, according to the Department the specific location of Winjan's Camp is not publicly available and is restricted information.

The City advised Nala Boodja Aboriginal Corporation they will need to lodge an Aboriginal Cultural Heritage submission to the Department to register if they wished to revise the recorded boundary of the site.

Frank Nannup from Winjan Corporation told the Mandurah Times the Western Foreshore has always been a family area.

"An alcohol outlet shouldn't be there, alcohol should be elsewhere," he said.

Lorraine Morrison said the City of Mandurah had failed to undertake reasonable, meaningful and proper consultation with the local Indigenous people.

"Mandurah is already home to enough licensed venues, the Western Foreshore is one of the last remaining spaces that is truly safe and welcoming for children and families," she said.
