Coastal Mandurah


Thank you for having your say, the City of Mandurah's Environment Strategy has now been endorsed.


We know the environment matters in Mandurah. For many, it’s what makes living here so special…what makes us love living here. We are also part of the global biodiversity hotspot, home to a range of unique plants, animals, and environments found nowhere else in the world.

The City's DRAFT Environment Strategy 2023-2033 brings together all of the City's environmental work and provides clear direction and priorities for the future as we protect and nurture this unique environment to continue to share it with generations to come.

We worked closely with staff, Elected Members, environmental groups, Aboriginal Elders and the broader community to shape a shared vision that reflects our connection to and hope for our natural environment, and we need your input again now before the strategy is finalised.

    DRAFT Environment Strategy Open for Feedback

    The DRAFT Environment Strategy 2023-2033 is now open for comment. You can view the draft strategy and provide your feedback in the Feedback Forum or Feedback Survey before September 30 2023.

    We all have a role to play in protecting and nurturing our environment and shaping our future Mandurah. The strategy has been developed collaboratively through:

    1. Review of work we already do in the space and previous community consultation

    2. Consultation with Elected Members and City staff

    3. Targeted engagement with environmental volunteers, community groups and advisory groups

    4. Engagement with partner environmental, government and non-government organisations

    5. Whole community consultation during September 2023

    This consultation to date has helped us develop a strategy that meets the vision of our community for "a healthy and diverse natural environment where walk softly on our Mandjoogoordap". This strategy sets out a number of key management actions that fall under themes drawn from the community narrative in the City's Strategic Community Plan (2020-2040) and encourages us to work collaboratively across management areas.

    OUR THEMES:

    Built in nature, not on nature

    • Enhancing biodiversity and prioritising local, native species
    • Enhancement of green spaces
    • Urban Canopy
    • Sustainable Transport Networks
    • Drainage and Water Sensitive Urban Design
    • Water quality

    Woven by waterways:

    • Coastal and foreshore management
    • Enhancement of blue spaces
