The place is considered to have cultural heritage significance as it reflects a time of rapid growth and development in the area during the 1970s and 1980s, largely driven by the Bond Corporation's commercial enterprises.

Sun City Precinct incorporates elements of the Yanchep Sun City development, the Two Rocks Marina and shopping centre, and includes the King Neptune Sculpture, a local landmark and remnant of the former tourist attraction Atlantis Marine Park.

The Yanchep Sun City development also reflects the economic conditions of the times, from the ambitious, aspirational sentiment of the boom that peaked in the 1980's, through to the 1990's and the venture's decline.

Entry in the State Register of Heritage Places does not prevent change or development, but instead ensures that any proposed development is sympathetic to the heritage values of the place.

To find out more about the proposal or to make a submission before the closing date of 30 September 2022, visit https://consultation.dplh.wa.gov.au/
