The Cottesloe Beach Pylon was constructed in 1936 as part of a shark proof enclosure scheme for the Cottesloe Beach area. The enclosure was never completed and the pylon remained as an iconic element in the Cottesloe Beach land and seascape. Its significance to the Western Australian community was recognised by its inclusion on the State Register of Heritage Places (Place 7984) and the Town of Cottesloe Heritage List. Cottesloe Beach Pylon is also included in the State Registered Place 16637 Cottesloe Beach Precinct which was included on the State Register in 2004. The Town of Cottesloe are committed to retaining the pylon and Cottesloe Beach for the Cottesloe and Western Australian community. After a storm damaged the original mast in 1995, a replacement was installed in 1996. Since that time the pylon has suffered further damage and undergone repairs. In January 2019, the Town of Cottesloe undertook significant repairs to the pylon below the waterline, the community contributed to the funding for these works. During these works specialist materials engineers, MeND, assessed the condition of the pylon above the waterline. The Town of Cottesloe engaged Hocking Heritage Studio and MeND to prepare a conservation management plan to guide the future management of the pylon. This conservation management plan includes options for the management of the pylon into the future to enable the Town of Cottesloe to make the most appropriate decisions in regard to maintaining the heritage values of the pylon.
The following conservation policies have been developed on the basis of the assessment of the cultural heritage significance, zones and elements of heritage significance and the statement of heritage significance for Cottesloe Beach Pylon. The policies have been drafted with awareness of the context of the site, sufficiently flexible to recognise constraints and requirements on the site and of its owners, managers and users, and to enable the heritage significance of the place to be retained and enhanced alongside future development. In this context the conservation policy aims: • to provide guidance to the owners of the place, regarding significance of the place; • to provide advice to ensure retention of significance of Cottesloe Beach Pylon; • to provide practical recommendations for conservation of significant fabric and policies for restoration, reconstruction and maintenance of the existing significant structure; • to provide criteria for assessing the appropriateness of adaptation of the fabric; • to illustrate practical means by which the significance of the place can be presented through appropriate interpretation; and • to provide advice on the approval process for any proposed development. The policies recommended for Cottesloe Beach Pylon are based on the need to conserve it as a place of aesthetic, historic and social significance. The conservation of the built structures assessed as being of cultural significance should take account of the physical changes that have occurred over time and which reflect the historical development of the structure.
