Yellagonga Regional Park Improvement Project

The State Government is investing $8.5 million to preserve and enhance Yellagonga Regional Park.

The improvements will make the park more accessible to a broader range of visitors and allow more people to enjoy the park’s natural beauty.

Works include the construction of 7km of urban mountain bike trails and supporting infrastructure including a carpark and toilets. A new boardwalk and a nature playground adjacent to Luisini Winery will be constructed which will complement the upcoming development of a cafe in the heritage listed winery building by a commercial operator. New limestone pathways have been constructed that provide a link between Lake Goollelal and Duffy House and planning is underway for formalised car parking at Perry’s Paddock.  

Interpretive signage at the new facilities throughout the park will further enhance the precinct and a viewing platform and boardwalk will be constructed on the Wanneroo side to provide access to Lake Joondalup.  

Additional planting around the lake will help to improve water quality and funding to increase rehabilitation works through local friends of groups has been provided to ensure the ongoing protection and restoration of the park. 

Named after the traditional Aboriginal name for the site, Yalbunullup Mountain Bike (MTB) Trails are now open and proving popular with locals and the mountain biking community!

Located on the corner of Lakeside Drive and Joondalup Drive, the new mountain bike park also include a new carpark, toilets, large pavilion shelter, bike racks, water fountains and interpretive signage.

The new infrastructure has been purposefully designed to maintain an open view to the lake, provide accessible facilities and complement the surrounding bushland setting. The Yalbunullup MTB Trails is suitable for ages, fitness levels and abilities featuring beginner and intermediate trails. Long term sustainability was key in planning the new trails. Trail corridors were carefully selected to minimise impacts on natural and cultural values and were constructed by professional trail builders in accordance with the Western Australian Mountain Bike Management Guidelines.

Local trail builders, Three Chillies Design constructed this exciting new trail network. WCP Civil undertook the carpark works while Element Construction constructed the toilets and pavilion.
