Coast
The City’s coast stretches 32 kilometres from Tamala Park in the south, to Two Rocks in the north. Wanneroo’s coastal foreshore is relatively undeveloped, especially when compared to the coastline further south. The City’s ocean coastline is an extraordinary natural asset for the City and has been an important stimulus to the urban growth of the coastal corridor. Due to climate change and an estimated rise in global sea levels, the City closely monitors and manages the coastline which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable.

Coastal Management Plan
The City’s Coastal Management Plan (CMP) provides a framework to guide the management and use of the City’s coastline over the next 15 years. The CMP aims to balance the community’s enjoyment of the coast with the protection of the natural environment by facilitating access to the beach, and ensuring that development is sustainable and sympathetic to the coastal location and environment..

Coastal Hazard Risk Management & Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP)

Foreshore Management Plans (FMP)
In addition to the work being carried out by the City, planning of the City’s coastline plays a large part in its ongoing monitoring and management. Foreshore Management Plans are a requirement for all developments affecting the coast and provide detail on future land uses within foreshore reserves with the aim to minimise the impacts of development.
See the Foreshore Management Plan Guidelines for more information on the process for assessment as well as the preparation and submission requirements for foreshore management plans.
