Lincoln Conservation Park is a protected area located in the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south west of Port Lincoln. The conservation park was proclaimed on 7 December 2006 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 for the purpose of recognising ‘its contribution to regional biodiversity conservation’. The proclamation replaced protected area status as a Conservation Reserve previously declared under the Crown Lands Act 1929 on 11 November 1993 for the purpose of conserving vegetation within the Coffin Bay – Jussieu Peninsula catchment zone. The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.[2][3][4]
