Upgrades to Coffin Bay National Park and Lincoln National Park

Upgrades to Coffin Bay National Park and Lincoln National Park

Improve­ments are now com­plete at 2 exist­ing vis­i­tor facil­i­ties in Eyre Penin­su­la parks – at Lin­coln Nation­al Park’s pop­u­lar Fish­er­man Point Camp­ground and the Gold­en Island Day Vis­i­tor Area in Cof­fin Bay Nation­al Park.

At Lin­coln Nation­al Park, on Low­er Eyre Penin­su­la, upgrades include increased capac­i­ty at Fish­er­man Point Camp­ground, new sig­nage, new toi­let blocks, improved vehi­cle access, and improved pedes­tri­an beach access.

We’ve sim­pli­fied the fees and recon­fig­ured the camp­ground, with vis­i­tors now able to book one of 19 camp­sites, rather than the pre­vi­ous arrange­ment where the 15 camp­sites were occu­pied on a first-come first-served basis.

At Cof­fin Bay Nation­al Park, vis­i­tors to Gold­en Island Day Vis­i­tor Area can now kick back and relax under 2 new pic­nic shel­ters with acces­si­ble pic­nic tables.

New toi­let facil­i­ties and an expand­ed car park were also part of the project, along with an upgrade to the fenc­ing, land­scap­ing and sig­nage at this spe­cial site.

The Depart­ment for Envi­ron­ment and Water worked with Abo­rig­i­nal com­mu­ni­ties and Friends of Parks vol­un­teer group to ensure the best out­come in updat­ing these vis­i­tor facil­i­ties at this icon­ic park.
