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 />
