[2][3] Point Grey is located on the traditional land of the Pindjarup people of the Noongar nation.

[6] Point Grey was the site of a proposed marina by Hong Kong-based developer Tian An Australia since 2012.

The construction of a 300-berth marina, the dredging of a 2.5-kilometre channel across the Peel-Harvey Estuary, and the proposed residential and tourism infrastructure were deemed environmental and financially unsound.

The developer's chief operating officer, Hai-Young Lu, said the company would continue to pursue the project.

[9] The project was eventually stopped in December 2021 when the Western Australian state government approved an amendment to the local planning scheme that disallowed the construction of the marina.
