The Transforming Bunbury’s Waterfront project is underway to deliver a regional marine and community hub.

Upcoming works will deliver key landside infrastructure including roads, shared paths and services as well as the new accessible fishing platform and an inclusive community recreational precinct to support it. The number of boat pens in the harbour will more than double to meet demand, and coastal structures will be upgraded to ensure long term protection of the facility.

A new northern breakwater was recently completed at Casuarina Boat Harbour to provide a more sheltered facility for users, along with the Koombana groyne upgrade. Other completed works in Casuarina Boat Harbour include an upgraded boat ramp, new toilet block and improved parking area at the boat ramp. The works followed the earlier Jetty Road upgrade and provision of a new multipurpose building.

This project is led by South West Development Commission and Stage 3 (Casuarina Boat Harbour upgrades) are being delivered by Department of Transport and Major Infrastructure in partnership with DevelopmentWA, City of Bunbury and Southern Ports.
