Yelverton National Park Explained

The Yelverton National Park is a national park in the South West region of Western Australia, south of Perth. It is located in the local government area of the City of Busselton in the locality of Yelverton, from Busselton and from Margaret River, on the Bussell Highway.

The creation of this park out of two reserves, namely a 725ha former timber reserve and a 4ha crown reserve for water was proposed under the Regional Forest Agreement for the South-West Forest in May 1999 and implemented under the Forrest Management Plan (2004–2013).^[2] In 2004, the area was declared a national park.^[3] It was protected due to its high concentration of rare and priority species and its diverse range of vegetation types. There are no visitor facilities in the park.^[4]
