PLANNING — URBAN TREE CANOPY
1060. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Planning:
I refer to the recent media
statement ''Local communities to share in $7.2 million tree recovery
package'' published on 24 August 2024.
(1) What is the percentage of
canopy cover for metropolitan Perth?
(2) What is the percentage of
canopy cover for the Perth and Peel regions?

AnswerView source ↗

(1)–(2) The
urban tree canopy dashboard provides a snapshot of the extent of tree canopy
coverage across the Perth and Peel regions and is available on the Western Australian
Planning Commission's website. The dashboard is not intended as a comparison
tool between suburbs or local governments as each area is subject to different
conditions and land use purposes. The urban tree canopy cover data for the
Perth and Peel region is 20.6 per cent.
