Wadjemup / Rottnest Island is going through a period of growth, and this evolution is seeing a number of exciting developments taking place. New and varied accommodation options are being established, including the island's first eco-sustainable development as well as upgrades to existing iconic Wadjemup locations. These changes are providing a significant improvement to the island’s amenity and visitor experience. As infrastructure ages and visitor numbers grow, the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2023-28 will continue to guide the management and development of the island.

A development is a large-scale commercial project that features significant change to the island. Because of their size, these projects can have an impact on the island, its visitors, residents, and staff.
For commercial developments, a Development Application is required, and they must go through the relevant approvals process. This ensures that the island’s sensitive heritage and environmental values are taken into account.
