Working With Our Community to Improve Active Transport

Catalina’s focus on well-being and eco-friendly living aligns perfectly with the City of Wanneroo’s Active Transport Plan. The Active Transport Plan is a long-term initiative to improve safety and connectivity for the growing population in Perth’s northern suburbs. It is already delivering benefits in Clarkson:

• Wayfinding signage: Improved signage linking Clarkson Train Station to Ocean Keys Shopping Centre to facilitate easier navigation without needing a car.
• Collaborative efforts: The City is working with METRONET, the Perth Transit Authority, and developers like Satterley to enhance public transport access, especially in new communities like Catalina.
• Community education: Promoting the benefits of active travel to foster healthier lifestyles.
• Upgraded trails: New and upgraded walking trails, including coastal walks that are accessible from Catalina, encourage people to explore the heritage and beauty in their backyard.

Three Precincts, One Community

Catalina is designed for connection. A beautiful green corridor links our three distinct precincts—Catalina Beach, Catalina Central, and Catalina Green. This dedicated cycle and pedestrian pathway winds through the estate, connecting parks, open spaces, and pristine swimming beaches. It’s an invitation to explore your community, stay active, and thrive in a place designed for well-being.
