Verran Tanks Conservation Park is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia, located on the Eyre Peninsula in the gazetted locality of Verran about north of Port Lincoln and about south-east of Lock.
It was proclaimed on 28 July 1983 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 to âÂÂconserve remnant vegetationâ on land all in Section 71 of the cadastral unit of the Hundred of Verran and which was previously gazetted as a water reserve. The proclamation excluded âÂÂaccess under state mining legislationâÂÂ. Its name is derived from a water storage facility known as the âÂÂVerran TankâÂÂ.
As of 2007, the Verran Tanks Conservation Park was reported as being âÂÂdominated by mallee and shrublandâ and included the following plant associations and species of conservation concern. A âÂÂmallee communityâ dominated by Eucalyptus peninsularis considered to be âÂÂa state endangered ecosystemâ was present in the conservation park. Four species which were described as being âÂÂstate rare speciesâ have also been recorded in the conservation park: six-nerve spine-bush (Acacia hexaneura), Levenhookia stipitata, the rasp daisy-bush (Olearia picridifolia) and the tawny leek-orchid (Prasophyllum constrictum).
As of 2007, there was no access for visitors into the interior of the conservation park, nor were there plans to create such access.
The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.
