Cottesloe Foreshore Redevelopment Project

In May 2026 the Town of Cottesloe announced that it had secured $10 million in funding from the Australian Government’s Urban Precincts and Partnerships Program (uPPP).

This significant investment, combined with a $5 million contribution from the Town of Cottesloe, will enable delivery of Stage One of the Cottesloe Foreshore Revitalisation Project - transforming the beachfront into a more accessible, vibrant and people-focused destination. 

The Cottesloe Foreshore plays a vital role in Perth and Western Australia’s visitor economy, drawing significant tourism and supporting local businesses year-round.

The project is backed by extensive planning, with Council adopting the Foreshore Revitalisation Masterplan in 2018 and approving detailed construction drawings in 2021.

Stage One will focus on creating a more welcoming and accessible public space, with key upgrades including transforming carpark 1 into public open space including terraced seating areas, an event plaza, landscaped community spaces, widening footpaths along Marine Parade, and traffic calming measures to improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. 

The revitalisation will enhance Cottesloe’s reputation as a premier tourism destination, supporting increased activation and economic growth, and the expanded public event space will strengthen the Town’s capacity to host events, while improving connections between the beachfront and nearby cafés and restaurants. 

Accessibility and sustainability are at the heart of the project, with features including improved universal beach access for people of all abilities, enhanced walking and cycling infrastructure, safer shared spaces through traffic calming initiatives, tree planting and active transport initiatives. 

The Town of Cottesloe is continuing discussions with the State Government to secure outcomes that may deliver the remainder of the project.
