The WAPC is preparing a regional strategy for the Perth metropolitan coastline. This process is being managed by the Coastal Planning and Coordination Council (CPCC), a statutory sub-committee of the WAPC.

The Perth Coastal Planning Strategy (PCPS) is a priority recommendation to come out of the Ministerial Taskforce Review of the structural arrangements for coastal planning and management in WA (2002), committed to by Cabinet in its endorsement of the Western Australian Government's Response to the Coastal Taskforce Report (WA Government 2003). The Taskforce acknowledged and reiterated the recommendations to come out of the Coastal Planning Program annual audits, which were to 'coordinate and promote integrated coastal zone management in the metropolitan area'. The PCPS is a priority action in the work plan for the CPCC.

The PCPS itself will provide guidance and support to decision making on the future land use, conservation and development of the Perth metropolitan coast.
