Due to scheduled fiber replacement works, the Margaret River Library and Depot will be closed from Sunday 5 May to Tuesday 7 May. We'll reopen during our usual business hours on Wednesday 8 May. Our online services are available 24/7. Explore them at Library Services.
The Prohibited Burning Period for the Shire has been extended further and will now apply until midnight, Tuesday 14 May 2024. No fires can be lit in the open air. More information here.

Off-road vehicles can be fun but they are also dangerous to the public. 

Use of off-road vehicles

Please note, the Shire has no facilities for off-road recreational activities.

Any person found riding or driving any unlicensed vehicle in a public place may have their vehicle impounded under the Off Road Vehicle Act and daily penalties will be incurred.
