There’s even more proof the Margaret River region is a leading eco-destination in Australia, with a new certification! We’re proud to announce that the Shire of Augusta Margaret River has been certified as an “ECO Destination”. It’s the first in WA and one of only four in Australia.
A great track record on environmental action
A major contributor is the Shire of Augusta Margaret River‘s great track record on environmental awareness and action. In 2019, the shire partnered with community members to deliver a Climate Action Summit at the head of the Margaret River Surf Pro. And following this, it declared a climate emergency, with a target of net zero emissions by 2030 endorsed in the recent Climate Action Plan.

Connect deeply, walk softly and experience our generous nature!
Sustainable habits can continue while holidaying
Congratulations to Blackwood River Houseboats, Fair Harvest Permaculture, Tanah Marah, and Margaret River Discovery Company. Their hard work means they’ve now attained Ecotourism Certification at the same time as the region as a whole announces its Destination Certification.
Cape to Cape Explorer Tours a proud eco operator
