Ocean to Channel Recreation Precinct
Thanks to extensive community input, there are plenty of exciting projects underway in the Ocean Beach and Prawn Rock Channel area. Find out more about what's going on!
The Shire is working closely with the Denmark Surf Lifesaving Club and contractors with a goal to commence major works at Ocean Beach in February 2024. In anticipation of disruptions and closures at various stages throughout the life of the project at Ocean Beach, we are developing and maintaining a stakeholder contact list so we can provide regular updates directly to interested community members and organisations. If you would like to be included on this list, please subscribe to receive updates (look for the 'STAY INFORMED' icon: scroll down on mobile/to the right of screen on PC).
