4.5 Dunsborough Precinct
The Dunsborough Precinct comprises the area between Quindalup and Old Dunsborough.
The area is urbanised and the houses have a mix of permanent residents and holiday
houses.
Beach accesses are provided along the coastline from Quindalup and Old Dunsborough,
with toilet blocks and carparks located near the boat ramps and at the Dunsborough
Foreshore.
4.5.1 Dunsborough Precinct Coastal Recreational Nodes
The Quindalup Boat Ramp recreational node is the major Coastal Recreational Node located
on the eastern side of the Dunsborough Precinct. It has a sealed trailer carpark located on
the southern side of Geographe Bay Road, a sealed carpark, boat ramp and the Naturaliste
Volunteer Sea Rescue building on the northern side of the road next to the beach. The toilets
located at the Sea Rescue building are open for public usage.
The Professional Fishermen Boat Ramp is located off Geographe Bay Road, near
McDermott Street. Two unsealed carparks are located next to the boat ramp, with the
eastern carpark being managed by the Dunsborough Yacht Club. Between the Quindalup
Boat Ramp and the Professional Fishermen Boat Ramp approximately 8 informal beach
access tracks are located off Geographe Bay Road. Following the recommendations of the
Geographe Bay Management Plan the informal beach access tracks should be closed off
and revegetated, whilst the main tracks should be formalised with installation of bollards and
signage to direct the public and minimise damage to the coastal vegetation.
An unsealed carpark with beach access is located off Geographe Bay Road approximately
160 metres west of the Professional Fishermen Boat Ramp.
Formal car parking areas are provided at regular intervals along the area between Tulloh
Street and Hurford Street. Near Tuloh Street a grassed car parking area accommodates
approximately 20 cars; Centennial Park has an unsealed car park with approximately 20 car
bays near Banks Avenue and a sealed car park with another 20 car bays near Chester Way;
the Old Dunsborough Boat Ramp area sealed car park accommodates approximately 80
cars and the unsealed car park located at Hurford Street accommodates approximately 4
cars.
