Beeliar - Rockingham Lakes Regional Parks
Beeliar Regional Park is located in the south west of the Perth metropolitan area and has a range of land ownership (see Figure 1). The northernmost area of the Park (Blue Gum Lake) is located approximately 10 kilometres from Perth’s Central Business District (CBD) while The Spectacles, being the southernmost area, is approximately 33 kilometres from the CBD.
The Park comprises 19 lakes and many other associated wetlands in two main chains located parallel to the coast. The western chain is approximately two kilometres from the coast and the eastern chain is between five and six kilometres from the coast. Coastal limestone cliffs along the Henderson foreshore are also contained within the Park.
The western chain of wetlands consists of a number of depressions behind the coastal dune system. This chain comprises Manning Lake, Market Garden Swamps 1 and 2, Lake Coogee, Brownman Swamps, and Lake Mount Brown.
Mount Brown and the Henderson foreshore (System Six, M91 reserve) adjoin the wetland chain to the southwest. The entire western chain of wetlands and coastal areas are within the municipal boundaries of the City of Cockburn.
The eastern chain of wetlands is more extensive than the western chain and encompasses Blue Gum Lake, Booragoon Lake and Piney Lakes Reserve (within the City of Melville), North Lake, Bibra Lake, South Lake, Little Rush Lake, Yangebup Lake, Kogolup Lake, Thomsons Lake and Banganup Lake (within the City of Cockburn) and The Spectacles (within the Town of Kwinana).
