About the Plan
The Draft Preston Beach Management Plan is a place-based, non-statutory framework that provides a coordinated approach to managing Preston Beach into the future.
The Plan brings together previous studies, technical assessments and community input to address:
- Increasing visitor use and behaviour
- Environmental protection and coastal processes
- Infrastructure and access
- Tourism and recreation
- Community values and town character
It is designed to ensure Preston Beach remains a valued coastal community and destination, while protecting what makes it unique.
The plan is structured around five key themes:
- Visitor Management and Safety
- Environmental and Coastal Values
- Sustainable Tourism and Accommodation
- Townsite Development and Land Use
- Governance, Partnerships and Stewardship
These themes guide a practical action plan to deliver improvements over time.
Why your feedback matters
Community feedback is essential to ensure the Plan reflects the communities’ values and priorities. The consultation provides an opportunity to confirm priorities, identify gaps, and refine the final Plan.
Consultation opens on Wednesday 25th March 2026 and closes on Sunday 10th May 2026.
Feedback will be reviewed and considered, and the plan will be refined where appropriate. A final version will be presented to Council for consideration.
Proposed Subdivision and Development of No. 1 Eastcott Street Waroona
One of the main focuses on all levels of Government currently is housing. Delivering housing across our state has presented challenges with demand outstripping supply and increasing costs coupled with serviced land availability. With this situation in mind, council has moved to commence a major land transaction and subdivide and develop freehold land on lot 43 Eastcott Street. The intent is to create up to 8 potential housing lots on this area and build appropriate housing on them. The subject land contains a shire owned house currently and adjoins the rear of the community centre and playgroup facilities. Given the economic modelling and future benefits of this asset for the community, it will be a prudent investment for the future sustainability for the shire.
