Welcome to the City of South Perth Green Plan website.

BirdThe Green Plan is a comprehensive inventory of vegetation across the City of South Perth. Specifically, the aims for the Green Plan are to:

  • ensure the long term conservation of remnant bushlands, foreshore areas, wildlife corridors and other significant habitat;
  • attempt to establish ecological links between significant habitat areas;
  • restore and rehabilitate vegetation communities and ensure the long term viability of existing flora;
  • maintain and increase the flora of the City, which is a predominant and attractive feature of the City of South Perth;
  • educate the local community on vegetation management issues and foster its involvement in maintaining remnant bushlands, whilst encouraging local residents to participate in the regeneration or enhancement of public or private land;
  • establish a baseline environment data set and overall vegetation inventory for the City of South Perth, which will act as a tool for environmental planning and management, and will also provide important information on the conservation status of vegetation communities;
  • outline innovative schemes for complementing plantings on public land with planting on private land.

On this website you can find the Green Plan Report 2002 (3075kb PDF file), which is the basis of future biodiversity planning for the City of South Perth.

There are a number of databases, including:

  • Remnant vegetation
  • Parks and open spaces
  • Street trees
  • Overall vegetation cover for the City

The website also details plans for future biodiversity planting to enhance existing vegetation and create links between parks and open spaces, and natural vegetation (see 'Greenways').

This website is a resource for information on Aboriginal and European heritage sites in the City, sources of native plant stock, suitable plants for growing as street trees and for domestic gardens.

In time, the website will include modules to allow you to order street trees and a small number of plants for your garden (see 'Planting' page).
