Reused containers have been converted into shelters and viewpoints, equipped with drinking fountains, and lit using renewable energy. Interpretive stories are etched directly onto the surface of the containers. The spaces around the containers also contain information boards for the nearby nature reserve.

Port infrastructures and activities can cause irreversible damage to the seabed and contribute to the disappearance of fauna and flora living there. By taking into account this environmental footprint and considering ecological engineering and eco-design measures for port infrastructures, local biodiversity can be restored and preserved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Additional information<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fremantleports.com.au\/\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Port of Fremantle<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"http:\/\/perthpeelcoastalwalk.com\/port-beach-to-north-mole-and-return\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Rous Head Ocean Walk<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aivp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/fremantle-ports-landscape-style-guide.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Fremantle Ports Landscape Guide (pdf)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fremantleports.com.au\/environment-safety\/supporting-wildlife-research\/fairy-terns\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Fairy Terns<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fremantleports.com.au\/the-port\/port-map\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Interactive map of Fremantle ports<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fremantleports.com.au\/the-port\/history-and-heritage\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">A port rich in history<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fremantleports.com.au\/news\/bumper-breeding-season-at-port-fairy-tern-sanctuary\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Bumper breeding season at port Fairy tern sanctuary<\/span><\/a><\/span><span lang=\"EN-GB\"> (news report)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fremantleports.com.au\/the-port\/planning-and-development\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Fremantle Ports&rsquo; planning framework<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aivp.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Greening-Freo-Strategy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-indent: -18pt;\">Greening Fremantle: Strategy 2020 (pdf)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ports of Fremantle created a promenade along the edge of Rous Head Industrial Park.
