The City of Stirling Council voted on 25 November 2025 to advance the proposed Scarborough–Trigg coastal boardwalk into further feasibility and design work. That is a green light for the next planning phase—not approval to build. The City’s latest project information still describes the proposal as a feasibility study, and no construction start date or secured construction funding is established in the available sources.

What did Council approve?

Council resolved to progress the proposal to a next phase, which the City says includes preparing a 15 percent design, continuing agency engagement and approval processes, and developing a business case to support funding advocacy. The City’s 28 November 2025 announcement describes work that remains ahead; it does not announce construction approval.

PerthNow reported that the resolution passed 8–5. That vote concerns whether to progress further study and design, not whether to award a construction contract or begin work. The City’s project page, last updated 31 August 2026, continues to describe the work as assessing feasibility. The City’s 2026–2030 Corporate Business Plan lists a 15 percent design milestone in 2026/27 while describing the project as exploring feasibility.

Where would the proposed boardwalk go, and what is it meant to do?

The concept is a coastal walking route linking Scarborough and Trigg beaches through South Trigg Beach Reserve. The City’s stated aims are to improve pedestrian connectivity and safety with a dedicated route away from traffic, create a visitor experience connecting people with culture and nature, and minimise environmental effects through sensitive design and restoration.

Trekology Trek-Z Cork Grip Collapsible Lightweight Hiking Trekking Poles
  • Natural Cork Grip Handle: Cork grips naturally absorb hand moisture to keep your grip dry on long hikes. Note: cork grips have a slight rotational flex; this is an anti-torque ergonomic feature, not a defect. Paired with lightweight aluminum shafts and EVA foam lower grips for stability on rugged terrain. Trekking poles must be checked in as luggage (not carry-on) per TSA and most airline rules. Set of 2 with carry bag included.
  • Engineered and Built To Last: Keeping your Adventurous nature in mind, we knew that No detail could be overlooked! Made with aircraft grade aluminum-crucial for hiking or backpacking in rough terrains and supporting heavier weights. The joints use added metal caps and lock to length when fully extended. Cork grip absorbs sweat out of your hands. Pick up your map and start your adventure!
  • Compact Design that is Ready to Go When You Are: Trek-Z hiking poles collapsible design, fold down to a portable 15 inches (38 cm), thanks to its retractable tri-fold system.

Trek-Z walking poles give you the ability to build strength and muscle while you run errands. Let these unique poles go with you to all your outdoor leisure activities and adventures!
  • Sizing - We've Got You Covered: Easily adjust the trekking poles from 110 cm to 130 cm (20 cm range) using the durable metal flip lock system for a secure, customized fit. After assembly, pull the metal lock button until it pops out to lock the pole in place. If the pole feels loose, re-seat the button until fully engaged - it is not a defect. Designed to fit men, women, and teens 5'2" to 6'5" (159-195 cm). Includes 1 pair of trekking poles and a carry bag.
  • Lighter Than Your Average Umbrella: Each pole weighs only 11.5 oz (330g), light enough for all-day hiking, backpacking in high mountains, or ski trail use. Built with aircraft-grade aluminum alloy for the strength-to-weight ratio you need on demanding trails. Whether you enjoy fishing, hiking, trekking, or everyday walking, these collapsible poles deliver the support you need.

Those are project aims, not confirmed outcomes. The design and feasibility work will need to establish whether they can be achieved within the reserve and under applicable planning and environmental requirements.

What work and approvals remain?

The City says the feasibility study included preliminary investigations, concept feasibility and community consultation. Its next phase is expected to refine the design, continue approval processes and develop a business case based on refined design and economic analysis. The City identifies the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, and other relevant agencies as part of its ongoing engagement.

The proposed route sits in the South Trigg Beach Class A Reserve and Bush Forever setting. The City’s project page says planning must also take account of its Coastal Hazard and Risk Management Adaptation Plan, the Trigg Bushland Reserve Management Plan, and relevant State and Federal approvals. These considerations are part of the work still to be done; the available City information does not say they have been cleared.

What are the cost figures—and what do they mean?

Figure What it refers to Source and qualification
$500,000 Allocation for the feasibility study in the City of Stirling’s 2024–25 planning and budget process. City of Stirling committee agenda, 18 November 2025; this is a study allocation, not a construction budget.
$18.5 million Reported estimate for the proposed project. PerthNow, 28 November 2025; a news-reported estimate, not a final approved construction budget.
More than $295,000 Reported project spending to date. PerthNow, 28 November 2025; the article’s figure for spending as of that report, not a final project cost.

The sources do not establish a final construction budget or secured funding. The planned business case is intended to support funding advocacy; it is not evidence that construction funding has been obtained.

What has the community said?

The City’s project page records consultation on the design concepts from 30 July to 30 August 2025. A City committee agenda says a petition opposing the proposal, bearing 1,695 unverified signatures, was tabled at the Council meeting on 9 September 2025. That figure is attributed to the agenda and does not establish the views of the whole community.

The proposal has been considered before. The City’s committee agenda says earlier proposals were considered in 2005 and 2013 but were not progressed after consultation at the time. Renewed interest led to Notices of Motion in 2021 and 2023, followed by the City’s 2024–25 allocation for a feasibility study.

What happens next, and when could construction start?

The next stated milestone is a 15 percent design in 2026/27, as listed in the City’s Corporate Business Plan 2026–2030. Design development, agency engagement, approvals and a business case are still part of the stated next phase. The available City information does not confirm a construction start date, a final construction budget or secured construction funding, so a build timeline cannot yet be stated.
