Jandakot Regional Park

The concept of regional spaces in Western Australia open to the public was first proposed in 1955, when the Stephenson-Hepburn Report recommended preserving private land for future public use in what would become the Perth Metropolitan Region in 1963. The Environmental Protection Authority identified areas of significant conservation, landscape and recreation value, in a report in 1983. In 1989, the Western Australian State Government allocated the responsibility of managing regional parks with the Department of Conservation and Land Management. The park has limited recreational use, with horse riders comprising the largest single user group, but is an important link in a series of reserves in the south-east metropolitan region of Perth. ==Areas==
