Regional parks in Western Australia are conservation areas with the purpose of serving as urban havens to preserve and restore cultural heritage and valuable ecosystems as well as to encourage sustainable nature-based recreation activities.[1]
As of 2021, there are eleven regional parks in the Perth region of Western Australia,[1] as well as regional parks outside the metropolitan area.
Apart from the already existing regional parks, future proposals exist, like the recently approved Kalgulup Regional Park, located within the City of Bunbury, Shire of Capel, Shire of Dardanup and Shire of Harvey,[2] which encompass the former Preston River to Ocean Regional Park proposal, proposed for almost 40 years,[3] and the Leschenault Regional Park along the Collie and Brunswick Rivers.[4]
Another one, the Darling Range Regional Park in the Darling Scarp, was proposed as the largest regional park in Australia, with 11,703 hectares, but never fully realised and eventually replaced by a number of smaller national and regional parks.[5][6]
