Special Events
Closed Waters
Rottnest Island hosts a number of high profile events each year that result in significant
boating activity. Visitors are reminded to adhere to requests or instructions from Rottnest
Island Rangers, Police, or Officers from the Department of Fisheries and Department
of Transport to assist in the management of these events. Water closure maps will be
available on RIA website.

New Year’s Eve and the Rottnest Channel Swim
During these events RIA will provide a designated area for tenders to be beached,
and will restrict beach anchoring, beaching and anchoring in Thomson Bay in front of
Samphire Rottnest.
This measure has been introduced to assist in crowd management and safety during this
time. Appropriate signage will be placed onsite and an area will be provided for the proper
use of tenders.

                                                                                              Page 8
Waste Management
Visitors to Rottnest Island value the clear water and unique marine environment.            What goes in your recycle bin
We have a commitment to keep Rottnest Island waters clean, and have strategies
in place to manage waste.
                                                                                                   Glass bottles and jars (clean & empty)
Why care about waste?
The discharge of waste from vessels has the potential to damage the marine environment
and Rottnest Island’s amenity. It also poses a public health risk.
                                                                                                   Aluminium and steel (clean & empty)

Liquid Waste
All the waters within the Rottnest Reserve are protected. No liquid waste can be
discharged anywhere in these waters, including waste from marine sanitation devices                Plastic containers and bottles (clean & empty)
(MSD’s). Ensure you store your liquid waste appropriately and discharge to a suitable
mainland facility or outside the marine reserve.
                                                                                                                   Paper (not shredded)
Solid Waste                                                                                                        Cardboard (please flatten)
If possible, help to reduce carbon emissions and carry your own waste and recycling
off the island. All waste placed in bins on the island is picked up by a truck, compacted
and shipped by barge off the island, it is then processed in the same manner as
mainland waste.                                                                             What goes in your waste bin
