  • Project Brief
    Project Brief Project Title Secrets of the Sunset Coast - tentative Background and Market Overview The Sunset Coast stretches for approximately 60 km from north to south and includes the very popular locations of Cottesloe, Scarborough, Trigg, Hillarys Boat Harbour, Mullaloo, Mindarie and the many other beaches in between. These locations are amongst the most recognisable destinations of Western Australia and dominate the Tourism Western Australia publicity. Each year the region has attracted significant numbers of intrastate, interstate and international visitors, including Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR), holiday makers, students and backpackers. The region satisfies the complete beach and coastal expectations, including family and child friendly beaches, surfing, kite surfing, diving, sailing, fishing, restaurants and bars. However, the current travel restrictions prevent all international visitors coming to Western Australia. Accordingly, the tourism and visitor market is made up solely of interstate and intrastate visitors. Operators are facing significant challenges with competition from alternative destinations. There is a structural change occurring across the sector and the Sunset Coast needs to reposition itself to achieve stronger engagement from domestic visitors. Across the region away from the coastal strip there are many unique activities and attractions which have always catered specifically for the local market, for Australians. There are excellent walks in Bold Park, there are interesting artist workshops, there are makers collectives, indigenous tours, micro breweries, local musicians. However, the dominance of the coastal operators and imagery has overshadowed these hidden gems that exist in close proximity to the coast. There is an opportunity to engage many of these operators, activities and sights to present a new side, a more creative, genuine, relatable destination which will immediately resonate with domestic visitors.
