Urban Greening Strategy

A plan for a greener, cooler and more liveable City

The Urban Greening Strategy was adopted by Council at the July 2025 Ordinary Council Meeting. Thank you to everyone who participated in the extensive engagement process. Find out more in the news update below, or read the meeting Minutes.

Following extensive community and stakeholder feedback, the City of South Perth has developed a new urban greening strategy to help to make a greener, cooler and more liveable place for us to live, work and visit.

Urban greening is not just about the urban forest or tree canopy. It also incorporates vegetation, shrubs, understorey planting and many other ways to recognise and retain nature and biodiversity, which help make our City more climate resilient and makes an area more pleasant to live in.

Engagement process

The Urban Greening Strategy stakeholder engagement has a three stage process:

• Stage 1: Broad engagement (survey and pop-up events).
  Complete: read about what happened during Stage 1. (September/October 2024)
• Stage 2: Deliberative panel (a panel of key stakeholders and community members who will work collaboratively to recommend priorities for the Urban Greening Strategy). (February 2025).
• Stage 3: Community feedback on draft Urban Greening Strategy (information sessions and feedback form). (Closed 4pm, 27 May 2025).
