The Shire of Denmark is thrilled to announce that, after many months of hard work, Ocean Beach and the Boat Ramp are open once again - just in time for summer.
Shire President Aaron Wiggins said the reopening is a celebration, and these upgrades make it even more welcoming for the whole community.
“Ocean Beach is part of Denmark’s heart and soul, and it’s great to see this area transformed into a more accessible, and more inviting destination for everyone, restoring the feel and access the area had before the storm erosion,” Cr Wiggins said.
Upon arrival, visitors will find smooth concrete paths that lead down to the fresh, new-look amenities structure where beachgoers can now enjoy heated showers within private cubicles, as well as the more spacious modern facility.
Continuing towards the shore is the renovated Denmark Surf Life Saving Clubhouse, featuring refurbished facilities that will support the vital work of volunteers who keep our coastline safe.
Following the path further, the precinct opens up to the landscaped areas and lush, reticulated turf, providing the perfect place to relax and soak up the sunshine. The new seawall surrounding the grassed areas, in addition to securing the new topography of the area, provides more seating areas. Visitors will also now enjoy easier access to the shore, thanks to new stairs linking the upper and lower levels.
Parking at the boat ramp access remains prohibited to ensure continued public safety, and a dedicated disabled parking bay ensures that everyone can enjoy the beauty of Ocean Beach.
A brand-new kiosk will also open early in the new year, following the completion of the tendering process, adding even more convenience for beachgoers.
Cr Wiggins said the redevelopment could not have been completed without the dedicated hard work of everyone involved in this massive project.
“We are incredibly grateful for the tireless work of our staff at the Shire of Denmark, the contractors and tradespeople and our Surf Life Saving Club volunteers,” Cr Wiggins said.
“I also thank our community for the patience and cooperation throughout this redevelopment, and I can’t wait to see everyone enjoying this special place once again.”
The Ocean Beach Redevelopment was proudly funded by the Department of Transport, Department of Creative Industries, Tourism & Sport, Lotterywest, Great Southern Development Commission, Denmark Surf Life Saving Club and the Shire of Denmark.
