Community members are invited to have their say as the City of Karratha progresses its Waterplay Feasibility Study, now underway to explore future water-based recreation opportunities across the region.
The study responds to strong community interest identified through the Strategic Community Plan Review and the Community Infrastructure Plan 2025–2035, with Council now assessing what may be feasible and appropriate for our local environment.
City of Karratha Mayor Daniel Scott said community participation was essential to ensuring future options explored reflected local needs.
“Waterplay is an important part of life in the North West, and we know our community is looking for more opportunities to cool off, connect and enjoy outdoor recreation,” Mayor Scott said.
“This feasibility study will help Council understand what types of waterplay facilities could work best for our region, if they’re viable and where they may be needed. We want to hear from everyone, families with young children, teenagers, and even the big kids who grew up here and are now adults. Community feedback will be vital in guiding any future planning or investment.”
A series of pop-up engagement sessions will be held across the City, providing opportunities for residents to ask questions, speak with the project team in person and provide their feedback.
An online survey will also be open from 10 to 25 March 2026.
