Cottesloe Coastcare

The Town of Cottesloe contains some of Perth's most iconic and popular beaches and, as such, is subject to lots of human traffic, particularly in the summer months. Cottesloe Coastcare Association (Coastcare) is a community group who work tirelessly to preserve the natural environment along Cottesloe’s 4 kilometers of coast. Coastcare formed in 1995 and is supported by the Town in their works to protect and rehabilitate the fragile coastal areas to:

  • protect local flora and fauna biodiversity
  • improve environmental resilience
  • enhance the aesthetic value of the coast for residents and visitors
  • create a sense of place, education & recreation for all to use
