Protecting biodiversity in the northern jarrah forest
Protection of vulnerable native species in the northern jarrah forest has received a major boost through approximately $1 million in funding for the Western Shield wildlife recovery program.
The proposed changes reflect the increasing popularity of the marine park and will allow for continued sustainable commercial and recreational activities such as fishing, tourism, diving, and boating.
The Dryandra Woodland National Park, near Narrogin, 180 kilometres south-east of Perth, is the first national park in Western Australia's Wheatbelt region.
A new marine park will be established for the eastern and southern parts of the Gulf, and Class A reserves will be gazetted for local areas of significance such as Qualing Pool, Camerons Cave and the Gulf's islands.
Collie's transformation into a recreation and adventure tourism hub continues, with Wellington National Park expanded by over 7,000 hectares and the completion of the first 15km stage of the region's new mountain bike trails network.
