The Australian Government is providing $1.84 million to help the City of Kwinana plant more trees and cool local suburbs.
The project will deliver around 1,800 new trees across parks, streets and public open spaces.
The extra trees will:
- increase tree canopy cover
- create more shade
- make public areas more comfortable to use, especially during summer.
The new plantings will also support local wildlife by improving habitat and connecting green spaces across the city. This includes habitat for native threatened species such as the black cockatoo.
The project will be delivered by the City of Kwinana and aligns with the City's Urban Forest Strategy.
The funding is provided through the Australian Government's Local Environmental Projects Program. It supports community-led projects to protect, restore and improve the environment.
