7) Improve and expand visitor amenities in national parks
The Swan Valley and Perth Hills region is home to several national parks that are extremely popular destinations for day trippers from the Perth metropolitan area. Many
of these day trippers also stop in townships such as Armadale, Mundaring and Kalamunda on their journey which results in a positive economic contribution to these
communities. In order to cater for continued visitation to these popular parks, an improvement and expansion of current visitor amenities, such as shelters, parking,
barbecues and picnic areas along with the upgrading of identified off road cycle and walk trails is required.

Considering the strong indigenous connection to the Swan Valley area, there is seen to be the opportunity to further expand the indigenous product offering in the region.
