A Parkwater residents group has been formed over the past couple of years known as the Parkwater Forest Management Group. The group meets regularly to discuss important matters such as the maintenance of the surrounding bushland, local community functions and to voice any concerns regarding the estate.

The owners’ of Parkwater Estate have donated an additional $230,000 to Shire of Augusta Margaret River for the community development of the oval situated on the corner of Sunset Drive and Currawong Street.

The Trust property in the spotlight in this Parkwater News is the nearby Ellensbrook homestead.

This historic property is located in the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park. Built in 1857 by pioneer settlers Alfred and Ellen Bussell, Ellensbrook was home to their family of 12 children.

Walking trails for Parkwater Estate are well under development; with a grant from Lotterywest the Trust has engaged Mulloway Studios to design this feature for the Estate.

Known as the Cowaramup Trails, the plan will enable the Trust to develop an interpretive system of trails around the estate.
