Formation

The Association was formed in 1992 in response to proposals to turn a large section of a fragile dune and wetland area into a resort hotel and golf course.

The Association supports development for tourism providing it is sustainable and sensitive to the environmental and heritage values. We believe we have an obligation to not only preserve but also to share this locality with visitors from Albany and other parts of the world. This is one of the main reasons we have built this website.

Frenchman Bay is located in an internationally significant biodiversity hotspot.  It is blessed with stunning scenery and is the documented site of the first landings of European explorers and scientists on the south-western coastline of Australia
