The City’s iconic coastline, idyllic bushland and first-rate sports facilities will be the setting for several events on the program, including:
- Beach volleyball at Scarborough Beach
- 3x3 basketball at Scarborough Beach
- Open-water swimming along our coastline
- Surfing at Trigg Beach
- Orienteering in Trigg Bushland
- Softball at Mirrabooka International Softball Centre.
In addition to the sporting events, the City will host an international beach party at Scarborough Beach to close the Games, offering visitors a quintessential Australian experience.

The benefits of the City’s support will include international exposure for local destinations and an economic injection for local businesses.
