Tourism will play an important role in generating local employment
opportunities, activity and vibrancy within Cockburn coast. Analysis
of the tourism market within the City of Cockburn reveals:
• 92 000 overnight visitors per year on average between
2002/03 and 2005/06 (Tourism WA, 2006), the vast
majority (80 per cent) of these visitors are intrastate
travellers;
• holiday/leisure and visiting family/relatives are the two
main reasons for visiting;

• the three main accommodation options for people visiting
the City of Cockburn are staying with friends or relatives,
in rented accommodation or in a hotel/resort/motel; and
Scarborough
734 rooms
10 km radius
• a wide variety of leisure activities are undertaken by
visitors to the City of Cockburn, with the main two being
social/other and outdoor/nature activities.
Further afield, looking at the close tourism nodes of Fremantle and
Cottesloe, a gap has been identified in the provision of 3, 4 and 5
star accommodation, as shown in Table 5.4.
Future tourism opportunities for the structure plan area should
therefore seek to capitalise on these areas of deficiency within the
surrounding tourism nodes.
The preferred location for short stay accommodation and other
tourism related uses in the Cockburn Coast redevelopment area is
within the Power Station precinct.
Figure 5.3 illustrates the number and location of existing tourism
rooms across the metropolitan area.
5.9 Regional transport
5.9.1 Regional rail services - freight
The Cockburn coast area is currently traversed along its western
boundary by a freight railway connecting to the Fremantle inner
harbour. Currently approximately 22 trains (44 movements) occur
along this line each week.
