Banksia Bay DuneCare is the coastal volunteer group caring for the dunes, beach access tracks, and shorebird habitat around Banksia Bay. The group brings together local residents, beach walkers, surfers, young families, and long-term Coastcare volunteers who want the foreshore to stay healthy and accessible.
The group's regular work includes removing coastal weeds, checking access fencing, planting native dune species, reporting storm damage, and helping visitors understand why staying on marked tracks matters. During nesting season, volunteers also support shorebird awareness activities and help keep sensitive areas clearly marked.
What the group does
- Coastal weed removal and follow-up maintenance.
- Dune planting using local native species.
- Beach access track care and light maintenance reporting.
- Shorebird awareness and seasonal habitat protection.
- Community working bees and beginner-friendly volunteer days.
Who can join
New volunteers are welcome. No specialist experience is needed, and tasks are matched to people's confidence, mobility, and available time. The group is a useful starting point for people who want a practical Coastcare activity close to town.
