New commercial opportunities available for Yalbunullup Mountain Bike Trails precinct
The Western Australian Government is seeking registrations of interest from individuals and organisations to operate new businesses in the Yalbunullup Mountain Bike Trails precinct, within Yellagonga Regional Park.
Located on the western side of Lake Joondalup, the $4.57 million Yalbunullup Mountain Bike Trails opened in December 2024 and feature seven kilometres of mountain bike trails, a 100-vehicle carpark, and a large pavilion with bike racks, water fountains, and toilet facilities.
Two new jump-line trails will also be constructed at the park in the coming months.
A competitive process is now under way to identify suitable businesses to operate at the site, including options such as mobile food and beverage vans, mountain bike hire, and other complementary services.
The Western Australian Government has invested $8.5 million into recreational improvements at Yellagonga Regional Park.
WA Environment Minister Matthew Swinbourn noted "the new facilities at Lake Joondalup, along with other upgrades across Yellagonga Regional Park, are creating exciting nature-based recreation and tourism opportunities, while protecting this urban oasis in Perth's northern suburbs.
"These commercial opportunities are a great opportunity for local operators to get involved and be part of the transformation of Yellagonga Regional Park."
In addition to the Yalbunullup Mountain Bike Trails, the Yellagonga Regional Park improvement project is delivering:
A boardwalk and nature playground at the Luisini Winery site on the eastern shore of Lake Goollelal
A viewing platform on the eastern side of Lake Joondalup
Improvements to access and pathways, including a new car park at Perry's Paddock
Weed control and rehabilitation projects
Improved signage and interpretation across the park
Registrations of interest for commercial opportunities at Yalbunullup Mountain Bike Trails close 18th July 2025.
