West Beach Parks is bound by the requirements of the West Beach Recreation and Reserve Act 1987 and therefore responsible for controlling a wide range of environmental risks and opportunities.
West Beach Parks’ commitment to managing environmental challenges, makes good business sense and can lead to enhanced safety, operational efficiencies, cost savings and the mitigation of risk.
