A fleet of e-scooters are now in Rockingham.
Following launches in Bunbury and Esperance, the City of Rockingham has partnered with micromobility company Beam to bring 200 e-scooters to the area.
The app-based service features pay-as-you-go rates and is integrated with Google Maps.
E-scooters are available to hire from 14 sites across the City including at the Rockingham Visitor Centre, Rockingham Arts Centre, CBD, Safety Bay, Palm Beach Jetty and the Rockingham Aquatic Center.
Beam’s General Manager (ANZ) Tom Cooper said he is excited to bring e-scooter technology to Rockingham.
“We’re thrilled to be piloting the City of Rockingham’s first shared e-mobility trial, and look forward to working collaboratively with local businesses and councils to bring our safe, affordable and sustainable e-scooters to both residents and visitors."
City of Rockingham Mayor Deb Hamblin said the City was committed to working proactively with the business community to attract new tourism operators.
“The City of Rockingham is proud to be a Small Business Friendly Local Government that is focused on driving tourism and economic growth, and the City has liaised extensively with Beam in order to help bring e-scooters to Rockingham,” Mayor Hamblin said.
“The activation and development of the City’s coastal areas is an important part of our Tourist Destination Strategy 2019 – 2024 and the arrival of e-scooters will make it easier for tourists to visit 14 locations including the Rockingham Foreshore, Mersey Point and Penguin Island, local shopping centres and several City facilities.”
