Urban Greening Strategy

A plan for a greener, cooler and more liveable City

The draft Urban Greening Strategy is now available for your feedback, as stage three of the stakeholder engagement.

The City of South Perth is developing a new urban greening strategy, and we want your feedback 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.

Following two stages of extensive stakeholder and community engagement, the draft Urban Greening Strategy document has been written by independent consultants from Josh Byrne and Associates.

We want to hear your feedback on the draft document - complete the online feedback form.
