Lipson Island Conservation Park is a protected area associated with Lipson Island in Spencer Gulf in South Australia about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north northeast of Lipson. The land which now comprises the conservation park previously received statutory protection in March 1967 and was re-proclaimed in 1972 under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. The area under protection is considered significant for the following reason: ‘a small island supporting breeding colonies of fairy penguins, black-faced cormorants, sooty oystercatchers, crested terns, pacific gulls and silver gulls.’ The conservation park is classified as an IUCN Category III protected area.^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]
