Cockburn Sound is a unique and sheltered stretch of ocean on the city’s coastal doorstep, loved by tens of thousands of West Aussies who fish, dive, swim, sail, kayak, windsurf, watch nature and/or simply enjoy being in, on or around the Sound.
But this is all under threat from a tsunami of industrial developments coming the Sound’s way including the Government’s Westport plans to build a massive new container port in Kwinana and dredge a huge shipping channel through the middle of the Sound – with works due to start in 2027.
Save Cockburn Sound – SCS – is sending out an SOS to the WA community before it’s too late – Cockburn Sound’s future is on the line and it needs our help.
