Purpose built terrestrial conservation centre, with public access and education spaces, quokka welfare centre and research facilities.

The proposed Wadjemup Conservation Centre will seek to be a state-of-the-art conservation facility with an emphasis on visitor engagement and showcasing the island’s outstanding natural environments.

Rottnest Island has numerous WWII defence heritage sites and structures across the Island. The remnant military structures and features are in various states of repair ranging from fully restored buildings through to rapidly deteriorating and unstable ruins.

The renewal of the heritage structures and features including a major refurbishment of the Bickley Battery trails and military assets is a strategic focus.

The Boodja Kaartdijin project will honour the Whadjuk Noongar people as Traditional owners of Wadjemup, promote the rich cultural heritage of Wadjemup/Rottnest Island, and provide an inclusive educational experience for visitors of all ages.

Up to 7 Boodja Kaartdijin sites will be located across Wadjemup/Rottnest Island to share knowledge about Aboriginal culture and Noongar stories that are unique to Wadjemup. Some of the sites link with the existing and proposed expansion of the Bidi Walk Trail allowing visitors to undertake a self-guided experience and explore the unique cultural and natural landscape on Wadjemup/Rottnest Island.
