History

The national park was proclaimed on 21 November 1985 to "protect Australia’s largest array of artesian springs: the nationally significant Dalhousie Mound Springs complex".[2][1] In 2007, it became the first protected area in South Australia to have formal joint management arrangements between its traditional owners and the Government of South Australia.[1]

The extent of land occupied by the national park was gazetted as a locality in April 2013 under the name "Witjira".[3]

On 26 November 2021, the government changed the conditions of the park, to forever exclude mining in the Dalhousie Springs National Heritage Area.[4]

Description

As of 2018, it covered an area of Template:Convert.[5]

The national park is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.[6] It was listed on the now-defunct Register of the National Estate during or after 1998.[7]

The historic Dalhousie Homestead Ruins, from the former Dalhousie Station, lie within the national park and are listed on the South Australian Heritage Register.[8]
