Leavers is an awesome time to unwind with your mates, and there’s nowhere better to relax and celebrate than Busselton and Dunsborough, in WA’s southwest. Swim and chill at the epic Beachfest at Meelup and relax in the cool vibe of the seaside town of Dunsborough. Mum and Dad can relax knowing that you’re chilling out in a safe, secure place, and that if anything goes wrong you’ve got great people here to help.

The party at the famous Dunsborough Leavers Zone runs on the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night 7pm-1am. It’s a drug, alcohol and smoke-free area where about 9,000 Leavers celebrate.

The zone has DJs, Silent Disco, awesome rides, chill out tent, food trucks and a fully equipped medical area. The zone gets pretty hectic, with some theme nights as well, but mum and dad can relax knowing you’re in safe hands and that there’s a bus service included in your event wristband to take you back to most Busselton and Dunsborough based accommodation (make sure you confirm with your accommodation that they are on the bus route).

Hit the exclusive Leavers Meelup Beachfest on the Wednesday, hosted by Royal Life Saving WA. Bring your boardies, bathers and sunscreen and get ready for a massive exclusive beach party with volleyball, beach activities, DJ, chill zones, beach tents, food trucks and the stunning Meelup Beach as backdrop. There’s also lots of shaded grass area to sit back and play some lawn games or simply chill and enjoy the down south vibes.

If a property is not located on the route, check if they have an optional add-on service available
• Some accommodation operators will also provide in-house activities or meal options as part of the Leavers week package  – e.g. pancake breakfast, BBQs, food truck visits, late night supper
• Official accommodation partners may also go to the extra effort of providing additional security or 24 hour support over Leavers – with many also reserving their property exclusively to Leavers

Please contact the accommodation providers direct to enquire about availability or stay packages for Leavers.

The Busselton, Dunsborough and Margaret River Visitor Centres are unable to book Leavers accommodation and most cannot be booked online due to special stay criteria around the event.
