COASTAL RECREATION TRACKS MASTER PLAN FOR THE SHIRES OF COOROW, DANDARAGAN & GINGIN
The Coastal Recreation Track Management Master Plan (The Plan) presents a strategy to allow recreation activities to continue in the project area while protecting its landscape and conservation values. The project area covers the Shires of Coorow, Dandaragan & Gingin.
It investigates all relevant issues pertaining to the provision of a safe and enjoyable recreation setting that is both easily manageable and retains the conservation and cultural value of the reserves.
The Coastal Recreation Track Management Master Plan Survey was completed in May 2024. The survey received responses from 346 participants. Data from the survey assisted in the development of the Master Plan.
The Shires of Coorow, Dandaragan and Gingin received funding from the State Natural Resource Management Program along with co-contributions from the shires and in-kind contributions from land managers, community groups and volunteers to complete the Master Plan.
Background
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.
Submissions on The Coastal Recreation Track Management Master Plan must be lodged with the Shire of Dandaragan Jurien Bay Administration Centre or council@dandaragan.wa.gov.au by 4.00pm Thursday, 15 May 2025.
