Planning and design potential visitor infrastructure for Yalgorup and Coastal areas
Yalgorup National Park and Coastal Areas Recreation Masterplan
Prepared for Department of Environment & Conservation, WA, 2020
About
Rhizome was engaged to undertake a new Recreation Masterplan for Yalgorup National Park and Coastal areas in 2019. This project considered all forms of visitor infrastructure, recreation and access through a variety of facilities as well as bridle, 4WD, cycle and hiking trails, visitor education centres, digital engagement and education methods to suit a range of visitors and abilities.
This was explored for both the Park as well as a wider audit of the surrounding four local government areas, to build a holistic understanding of existing visitation and future opportunities while maintaining the natural and cultural values of the area: namely the internationally recognised Ramsar-listed wetland.
Work involved working with a large group of stakeholders including representatives from Noongar, state government and local government areas through site reconnaissance and targeted stakeholder workshops.
