With much of the region being in close proximity to the <strong>Perth</strong> CBD, the Sunset<br />
Coast is highly accessible for visitors travelling from <strong>Perth</strong> by car. Even Lancelin,<br />
which is 127km away from <strong>Perth</strong>, can be easily reached by car within two hours.<br />
While the region is served by the suburban transport network up to Yanchep, it is<br />
felt that public transport to key attractions in the region is limited. In addition to<br />
establishing a public transport link to Lancelin, establishing a public transport route<br />
along the coast linking key coastal nodes is seen as a priority.<br />
While there are no major problems with the existing road into Lancelin at present,<br />
the opening up of the Indian Ocean Drive between Lancelin and Cervantes is<br />
expected to create an influx of visitor traffic through the northern end of the<br />
region. As a consequence, it is felt that the quality of the road network<br />
towards Lancelin will need to be improved.<br />
“The roads (to Lancelin) will need to be constantly upgraded<br />
and maintained.” (Destination stakeholder)<br />
