Welcome to Our Community
The Wedge Island Community consists of approximately 350 shacks settled on the mainland 30kms North of Lancelin. It has been a family holiday destination for thousands of Western Australians for over 70 years. A diverse range of people from all walks of life such as Doctors, Lawyers, Plumbers, Carpenters, families and friends have enjoyed and appreciated Wedge Island as a holiday destination.
Due to it’s previously remote location a strong sense of community has developed between the visitors and inhabitants of Wedge Island as they have worked together to maintain this unique lifestyle. This community is now under threat.
Please feel free to browse our website and learn more about this amazing jewel on the remote West Coast. If you can help in any way it will be much appreciated.Welcome

Rubbish Management at Wedge
Rubbish generated at Wedge from commercial fishing operations, recreational shack owners and visitors such as campers, beach fishers and tourists, has been managed onsite via two facilities:
- Domestic Rubbish Tip (putrescibles)
- Scrap Metal Dump (Large metal items and building material)
This approach has been normal practice followed by isolated town sites, in rural communities and on farms.
