The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), the Responsible Authority, proposes to reserve 201 hectares (ha) of Stakehill Swamp, Baldivis for Parks and Recreation (P&R) in the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS).

Stakehill Swamp is approximately 50 kilometres south-west of Perth in the City of Rockingham. It is bounded by Stakehill Road, Mandurah Road, Sixty Eight Road and Eighty Road and is south-east of Lake Cooloongup. It consists of 34 properties including land owned by the WAPC and in private ownership. The land surrounding Stakehill Swamp has been significantly cleared over time for agricultural purposes such as market gardening.
