Terms of Use

Welcome to North Coaster, operating at northcoaster.com.au. By using the Site, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.

Last updated: 19 July, 2026

1. What this Site is

North Coaster publishes news, guides, reviews and opinion about Perth’s north coast. Our content reflects our genuine views and local experience at the time of publication. It is general information and not professional advice of any kind.

2. Information can go stale

We write about a fast-changing area. Venues close, menus change, opening hours shift, estates get built, trails get rerouted. We make reasonable efforts to be accurate at publication, but we don’t guarantee any information is current or complete. Check directly with a venue or authority before relying on details like opening hours, prices, or event dates.

3. Outdoor activities are at your own risk

Some of our articles describe beaches, surf spots, swimming locations, trails and other outdoor activities. Conditions at these locations change constantly and can be dangerous. Nothing on this Site is a substitute for your own judgment, current local warnings, or official safety advice. Assess conditions yourself, know your own abilities, and swim, surf, hike and explore at your own risk. Where we mention hazards, that is general commentary, not a complete safety assessment.

4. Property and investment content

Articles about moving to, building in, or buying on the north coast are opinion and general commentary based on our own experience. They are not financial, legal, or real estate advice. Speak to qualified professionals before making property decisions.

5. Reviews and editorial independence

Reviews and recommendations reflect our honest opinions. Where content is sponsored or a business has provided goods or services free of charge, we disclose this in the article.

6. Our content and your use of it

All content on the Site including articles, photographs, graphics, logos is owned by or licensed to North Coaster and protected by copyright. You may:

  • Read, share links to, and quote short excerpts of our content with attribution and a link back

You may not, without our written permission:

  • Republish articles or photographs in full
  • Use our content commercially
  • Scrape or bulk-copy the Site, including for training AI systems

  • Confirm you own it or have the right to share it
  • Grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to publish, edit and reproduce it on the Site and our associated channels (social media, newsletter), with credit where practical
  • Keep your own copyright, we don’t take ownership of your photos or words

Specific competitions may have their own terms, which apply in addition to these.

We may edit, decline or remove submitted material at our discretion, including comments that are abusive, defamatory, misleading, spam, or unrelated to the topic.

8. Acceptable use

9. Third-party links and embeds

The Site links to and embeds content from third parties (venues, social media platforms, maps, event pages). We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. A link or embed is not an endorsement.

10. Advertising

Where liability cannot be excluded but can be limited, our liability is limited to the resupply of the relevant services.

12. Privacy

Our collection and handling of personal information is covered by our [Privacy Policy — link], which forms part of these terms.
