• $1.9 million bird viewing tower and boardwalk officially opened by City of Wanneroo
  • Two new jumplines and a flyover bridge complete $4.57 million mountain biking park
  • $2.4 million, 380-metre accessible boardwalk open at Lake Goollelal in Kinglsey
  • Delivering on Government’s priority to build safer, more inclusive communities

The State Government has delivered a suite of new facilities at Yellagonga Regional Park with the latest addition, a new bird watching tower and boardwalk, formally opened.

The striking new, accessible structure affords breathtaking views over Lake Joondalup and provides opportunities for wildlife watching and photography.

The $1.9 million project was funded by the State Government and delivered by the City of Wanneroo, on the eastern bank of Lake Joondalup.

In addition, the final elements have also been completed at Yalbunullup mountain bike park with the park boasting new jumplines and a flyover bridge.

The two new 200-metre jumplines cater to intermediate and advanced riders, offering a dedicated space to develop, progress, and showcase their jumping skills. The flyover bridge enhances the event circuit on the trails and will allow the Northern Beaches Cycling Club to host cross country events in the park.

These are the final elements of the Yalbunullup mountain bike park that includes seven kilometres of purpose-built mountain bike trails, a lakeside pavilion with lookout, bike racks, water fountains, interpretive signage, toilets, and a 100-bay sealed car park.

Furthermore, a spectacular 380-metre-long boardwalk that opened at Kingsley’s Lake Goollelal late last year has proven to be a popular and welcome addition to park.

The boardwalk extends out over the lake to offer superb views and a great vantage point to observe waterbirds, oblong turtles and, if you’re very lucky, maybe even a rakali.

The boardwalk has been designed to be fully accessible to people using wheelchairs and with prams, and connects to the 4.5-kilometre lake circuit path around Lake Goollelal.
