Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour penholders could soon have private access to kitchen and laundry facilities
Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour penholders will soon have access to a private bathroom, kitchen and laundry as part of a $2.9 million to upgrade the marina.
The harbour, which is managed by the Department of Transport, will also receive new storage spaces, fencing, CCTV, a covered barbecue area and accessible toilets, two of which will be available to the public.
The facility will be built in the southern precinct of the harbour along Capo D’Orlando Drive and is set to be complete by December 2025.

“The new modern dedicated penholder facility will provide greater convenience for users, adding to the harbour’s appeal as an attractive place to pen a vessel, given its proximity to Rottnest,” assisting transport minister David Michael said.
It comes just months after a $6.1m upgrade of the southern end of the harbour brought new pedestrian paths, lighting and landscaping.
