Belair National Park

In reply to the Hon. M.C. PARNELL (2 March 2021).

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services): The Department for Environment and Water has advised:

The former Belair Golf Course and Country Club precinct forms part of the Belair National Park, where DEW manages considerable conservation programs, revegetation, and restoration activities. These activities occur to improve conservation of wildlife in a natural environment and to provide enjoyment and public benefit to the wider community.

DEW is currently seeking input from the community on a draft master plan for the Belair National Park, which also considers the best opportunity for the former Belair Golf Course and Country Club. Feedback which was received in response to public consultation held during 2018, following the vacation of the former golf course and country club by the previous operators, consistently highlighted that the community:

enjoy access to the site, including the network of trails;

favour a range of activities on the site, rather than a single use;

value the site's natural setting;

support commercial activities on the site, including accommodation, hospitality, tourism and recreational opportunities; and

support the site becoming a hub for arts, events, cultural, educational and recreational activities.

The draft master plan and draft amendment of the Belair National Park Management Plan seeks to provide a framework for the future management of the site and is currently out for public consultation. This is an opportunity for the community to be involved with shaping the future for Belair National Park.
