An administrative agency for a national park system in Westarctica had been discussed as a goal as early as 2018, when some informal conceptualizing took place between the Ministers of [[Minister of Conservation|Conservation]] and [[Minister of Citizenship|Citizenship & Immigration]]. It was brought up a handful of times over the next few years, always being well-recieved, but never being taken up as an earnest endeavor until the Summer of 2023, when a bill was introduced before the [[Senate of Westarctica|Senate]] by then Senator [[Jordan Farmer]].
