Advocacy

Perth holds the unfortunate distinction of having the lowest urban canopy coverage of any capital city in Australia, with less than 20%. This is an urgent issue that demands immediate and sustained action.

To address this challenge, the WA Local Government Association (WALGA) has continued to be a strong advocate for the creation of a Statewide Urban Forest Strategy, aiming for a 30% tree canopy by 2040 across Perth and Peel.

The South East Corridor Council Alliance (SECCA) has set itself a vision to become the State’s Most Sustainable Corridor. Advancing sporting infrastructure to meet the growing needs of communities within the Corridor is one mission focus area that will deliver the vision.
