Community to have say on verge swings

At the October 2020 Council Meeting, City of South Perth Councillors voted to amend the City’s Public Places and Local Government Property Local Law to allow for children’s tree swings to be hung from verge trees adjacent to residents’ homes.

The public domain of the street verge is an increasingly important area to provide an opportunity for outdoor play for children, encouraging community interaction and making the City a friendly, fun and attractive place to live.

To date, tree swings in the City have been in place without incident.
