Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003-2013
Y ellagonga Regional Park Regional Management Plan Management Plan 2003—2013 Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003-2013 MANAGEMENT PLAN 48 CITY OF JOONDALUP CITY OF WANNEROO Yellagonga Regional Park Management Plan 2003 - 2013 PLANNING TEAM This plan was co-ordinated by a consultancy team led by Plan E working closely with the managers of Yellagonga Regional Park – the Department of Conservation and Land Management, the City of Joondalup and the City of Wanneroo. The Planning Team prepared the plan for the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Brendan Dooley (Plan Coordinator) Department of Conservation and Land Management Tim Bowra Department of Conservation and Land Management Dennis Cluning City of Joondalup Phil Thompson City of Wanneroo PREFACE Regional parks are areas of regional open space that are identified by planning procedures as having outstanding conservation, landscape and recreation values. Regional parks provide the opportunity for a consortium of management agencies and private landowners to develop co-ordinated planning and management strategies. Regional parks were first proposed in the Stephenson - Hepburn Report of 1955, which later formed the basis of the Perth Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963. Since then, State planning agencies have been acquiring suitable private land in anticipation of the time when regional parks would be formally created. In 1997, the State government announced a commitment to introduce legislation to give regional parks legal standing and vesting in the former NPNCA, now the Conservation Commission of Western Australia. Eight regional parks were recognised as formal identities, with the co-ordination of their management progressively transferred to the Department of Conservation and Land Management.
