Urban tree canopy—Household rebates
3. Hon Tjorn Sibma to the Minister for the Environment :
This is the minister's
very first question in this portfolio, so I promise to go easy on him!
I refer to the government's $10 million election
commitment to double Perth's urban tree canopy to 30% by 2040, including
its pledge to offer $150 in yearly rebates to households to purchase native
trees, to a total cost of $6.9 million.
(1) When will the household rebates become
available?
(2) Over what period will the program run?
(3) Will the rebates be means tested, and if not,
why not?
