The 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).
