Premier Will Hodgman will announce $365,000 funding to address the wastewater needs in Freycinet National Park, Coles Bay and Swanwick on Monday.
“Freycinet National Park is one of our most popular tourism destinations and is much loved by locals, however the local wastewater infrastructure is inadequate,” Mr Hodgman said.
“We need to start work on the wastewater infrastructure improvements as a top priority, so the feasibility studies and options assessments will start in early 2019.”
The state government has been working with Glamorgan Spring Bay Council, East Coast Tourism and other stakeholders to develop a Freycinet Peninsula Master Plan, with improved wastewater services identified as a top priority.
An updated Freycinet Peninsula Master Plan is expected to be released in early 2019.
