To all our members and friends, please join us at the 2025 Rottnest Society Annual General Meeting, which will take place on the 3rd November 2025, at 7pm.

The meeting will be held at the Rottnest Island Authority meeting room, at 1 Mews Road, Fremantle. Please see the map below for parking.

After the meeting there will be an informative presentation by Arvid Hogstrom, Director, Environment, Heritage and Parks who will speak on the subject of the Wadjemup Project. Arvid has spent more than three decades managing marine and terrestrial reserves, and has done extensive work overseeing the day-to-day management of the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area, with a focus on joint management with traditional owners and the development and management of new coastal reserves. He has significant experience in working with tourism enterprises and tourism-based infrastructure in conservation estates, as well as overseeing conservation and land management programs. Arvid has also worked in species conservation with not-for-profit organisations and with Aboriginal corporations assisting with managing natural values and developing Aboriginal ranger programs. He has a degree in Natural Resource Management.

We look forward to seeing you there.
