Regional Parks are open spaces identified as having regionally significant value for conservation, recreation and community use. There are regional parks situated around metropolitan Perth and Bunbury that protect a range of natural areas including foreshores, ocean beaches, wetlands and the Darling Scarp. The current land tenure arrangements within the regional parks are complex with a number of different tenures and landholders existing. These may include Commonwealth or State land, local government land, private freehold land where the landowner has agreed, UCL and unmanaged reserve. Regional Parks provide an opportunity for coordinated land use management and planning. Parks and Wildlife works closely with local councils and community groups to manage these diverse multi purpose areas. Each Park has a community advisory committee made up of local people who advocate for the park's management on behalf of stakeholders.The Department for Planning and Infrastructure has proceeded to, and will continue to, acquire the land that is required to consolidate the parks.
