A bushfire in November 2011 blackened a large part of the park. More, recently on the night of 4 December 2020, a fire started in the conservation park, which ended up taking 75
firefighters to bring it under control within an hour and several hours to extinguish completely. The
Seaford railway line, which runs next to the park, had to be closed for a short while. A significant part of the park was damaged, and an investigation into the cause of the fire followed. Many of the plants affected by the fire have already started to regrow. ==See also==
