The Regional Parks Unit (formally known as the Regional Parks Branch) was set up in 1997 to coordinate the management of Perth's regional parks. This network of regional parks represents the majority of land reserved for parks and recreation in the metropolitan area. The current land tenure arrangements within the regional parks are complex with a number of different landholders of both Crown and freehold lands. The Regional Parks Unit works closely with local government authorities and the community to manage these diverse multi-purpose parks for the enjoyment of local residents and visitors. The Western Australian Planning Commission has proceeded to, and will continue to, acquire the land that is required to consolidate the parks. |
