The land to the south of the Park and north of the City of Whyalla is owned by BHP. Vegetation is contiguous with that of the Park and is of conservation value. This land is largely undisturbed but some sections of it are used by off-road vehicles.
Land to the east and north of the Park is contiguous habitat under pastoral lease.
Management of the BHP land to the south of the Park would be desirable to improve the amenity of this area and to complement the Park. This could include designation of areas for trail bike activity and addition of a portion of land immediately adjacent to the conservation Park. This would significantly benefit the conservation value of the Park by altering its shape and creating a buffer between current access arrangements and the activities on BHP land.
The adjacent Cultana Industrial Estate and the proposed Tioxide development have the potential to impact negatively on the Park. The developers were considerate and cooperative in the placement of existing industry. Good communication should be fostered with the estate managers to ensure that the interests and values of the Park are not compromised by future developments.
