PLANNING — URBAN
TREE CANOPY
1397. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the minister representing the
Minister for Planning:
I refer to the City of Nedlands
Trees on Private Land—Scheme Amendment 12 and Draft Local Planning
Policy, which was supported by the council at the 28 March 2023 ordinary
council meeting and subsequently referred to the Western Australian Planning
Commission for review and recommendation.
(1) What is the
status of this important scheme amendment and when is a decision by the WAPC
expected?
(2) Will the minister support this
scheme amendment; and, if not, why not?
(3) Noting that
approximately 80 per cent of Perth's remaining tree canopy sits on
private land, will the minister look to introduce similar measures into the
schemes of all metropolitan local governments to support the protection of
urban tree canopy?
