Aldinga Scrub Conservation Park is a protected area located in the suburbs of Aldinga Beach and Sellicks Beach about 46 kilometres (29 mi) south by west of Adelaide in South Australia. The park was proclaimed in November 1975 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 for the purpose of protecting a parcel of undeveloped land considered to be 'a significant remnant of the natural habitat that once occurred all along the southern Adelaide coastline'. The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.[2][3][4]
