Lesueur National Park lies in the Geraldton Sandplains bioregion, which is characterised by scrubby heath with a high number of plants from the family Proteaceae.
Vegetation in the park is structurally complex, with patches of woodland amongst shrublands.
There are over 900 indigenous plant species in the park, many of which are endemic.
1980s coal mining and power station proposals
In the 1980s, due to appraisals of coal deposits in the area, the Mount Lesueur and Hill River areas were in controversy over proposed coal mining and power station development, until the creation of the National Park in 1990.
