MARCH–AUGUST 2026 · LOCAL HIGHLIGHTS
The six-month local file
The decisions, projects and deadlines most likely to matter locally. Older context appears only where it helps explain what is happening now.
Decision · Approved 27 Aug 2026
Ocean Beach Hotel timetable was extended by three years
The WAPC approved a 36-month extension to the substantial-commencement period for the approved $320 million redevelopment at 140 Marine Parade on 27 August.
WHY IT MATTERS
The decision keeps the approval pathway alive but does not redesign the project or confirm that demolition or construction has begun.
WHAT TO DO
Follow the permanent Watchdesk record for the determination notice and evidence of an actual construction milestone.

WA PlanningDecision · Council update 29 Apr 2026
Draft parking strategy moved beyond consultation
After public consultation, Council considered the draft parking strategy in April as a framework for managing high-demand areas and future parking decisions.
WHY IT MATTERS
Parking is a persistent local access issue, but strategy work does not itself create a new bay, restriction or fee.
WHAT TO DO
Track the final adopted measures and implementation dates rather than treating the draft framework as immediate operational change.

Town of CottesloeInfrastructure · Funding confirmed 25 May 2026
$15 million puts Stage One of the foreshore project into delivery
The Town secured $10 million in federal funding and committed $5 million of its own for Stage One, covering new public space, wider paths, accessibility upgrades and traffic calming.
WHY IT MATTERS
Funding and completed construction drawings move the long-planned foreshore project beyond concept status, although Stage One is only half of the wider masterplan.
WHAT TO DO
Track tendering, the construction program and access changes; do not assume later stages are funded.
