The Shires of Coorow, Dandaragan and Gingin have developed a Master Plan to support safe, sustainable
recreation along our beautiful coastline — including fishing, camping, 4WDing, and more — while protecting the natural environment.
The Coastal environment holds immense natural beauty and offers a diverse range of recreational opportunities, including but not limited to fishing, swimming, surfing, kitesurfing, hiking, camping, four-wheel driving and wildlife observation. As the stewards of this environment, it is essential that we work together to ensure these activities are sustainable, enjoyable, and appropriately accessible.
Increased visitor numbers, conflicts of user types and alteration of landscape values will continue as more people buy and use four wheel drive vehicles for recreational and tourism use. It is this Recreation Master Plan’s aim to protect those landscape values through enabling efficient management and encouraging sustainable recreation use of the lands and waters of the Coast in the Shires of Coorow, Dandaragan and Gingin.
The draft Plan is now available for public comment.
The Master Plan has been prepared in three separate documents covering:
1 - Coastal Recreation Track Management Master Plan
