The Port, Leighton and Mosman Beaches Coastal Adaptation Plan was adopted by Fremantle Council on 22 November 2017. The plan was prepared to outline adaptation to the changing coast at Port, Leighton and Mosman Beaches, and provides recommended timeframes and trigger points for decision-making and planning for the area. The plan was prepared as the first iteration of an evolving, long-term planning and decision-making process for the City of Fremantle and Town of Mosman Park, the community and key stakeholders to adapt our settlements and infrastructure to coastal processes – including risks of coastal erosion and inundation.

In 2007, the Minister for Planning approved the Leighton Oceanside Parklands Masterplan Report as a guiding landscape document for Leighton Beach. The Masterplan was prepared by the Department, on behalf of the WAPC, together with Landcorp, the Town of Cottesloe, the Town of Mosman Park and the City of Fremantle. The Masterplan identifies public amenity and recreational facilities that will occur in five stages of development and addresses a range of matters including the rehabilitation and suitable landscape treatment of Leighton Beach.
