Keep Perth Pristine

Perth is part of a large and stunningly diverse state. A few tips from us to keep it that way:

 Be respectful of each pristine place you visit and ensure you leave no trace — taking away anything brought and preserving the land as you found it.

 Respect ancient Aboriginal customs and culture.

 Protect marine waterways — ensure your rubbish stays out, use reusable water bottles and marine friendly sunscreen.

 Don’t travel to areas that are private or not safely accessible.

 Take care and treat the land with consideration when using a 4WD — stick to designated tracks.

 Travel sustainably — make the most of our many public transport options and cycle, or rent e-scooters, where possible.
