Thanks to a $3.3 million commitment by the State Government, visitor experience upgrades are now underway at Torndirrup National Park.

Project updates

This improvement project includes

  • An increase in parking spaces to accommodate for 60 additional vehicles;
  • Redevelopment of roads to provide smoother, safer access between sites; and
  • Installation of toilets for visitors to 'The Gap's' iconic picnicking area.

While the Torndirrup National Park will remain open during these planned works, minor disruptions to paths, trails and vehicle access may occur.
