The iconic Bold Park is administered by the Botanic Gardens & Parks Authority who are currently seeking community feedback as they draft the new Management Plan for 2022-2027

Bold Park was declared an A-class reserve in 1998 for its high conservation, landscape and recreation values and vested with the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority for management. It is one of the largest remaining bushland remnants in the urban area of the Swan Coastal Plain, covering 437 hectares near the coast.

The vision for Bold Park is 'to be identified as a world-class urban wilderness enjoyed, studied and managed with the community'.

Bold Park has an impressive biodiversity, with over 1000 native and non-native species of flora, fauna and fungi identified. Despite its proximity to the city, there is an abundance of wildlife including birds, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates.

Submissions close 16 July 5.00 pm with the draft plan due out for comment in late 2021.
