The Transforming Bunbury’s Waterfront project is creating new shoreline destinations and infrastructure to stimulate thriving marine and tourism industries.

Stage two of the project, completed in 2020, included the Jetty Road causeway redevelopment and upgrades to the Casuarina Drive foreshore. These works included the reconstruction of Jetty Road, and the revitalisation of the Casuarina Drive foreshore, including enhanced public amenities, upgraded roads, services and increased parking.

Stage three is underway with construction of a new 460-metre-long northern breakwater. This phase includes works on the new breakwaters at Casuarina Boat Harbour and Koombana Bay, and upgrades to community services and facilities.

The boat ramp opened in late-2022, providing skippers based in the South-West with better launching facilities.

The Transforming Bunbury’s Waterfront project involves the South West Development Commission, in partnership with the Department of Transport, DevelopmentWA and the City of Bunbury.
