Our Environment

The City of South Perth recognises that successful management of the environment must consider the urban and natural environment and their interactions in a holistic manner.

Working with the state government and drainage utilities, the City of South Perth follows an integrated Catchment Management Plan  to address urban stormwater management.

The City is actively working to understand the potential impacts of climate change, and taking action to prevent those impacts wherever possible. 

Careful management of the City of South Perth’s public open space (POS) and the conservation of ground water is an essential response to a drying climate. The City’s parks and reserves are being progressively hydro-zoned and eco-zoned to address this issue.

Sustainability for the City of South Perth means enhancing the quality of life and prosperity of the community, and preventing the harmful local and global effects of its action through careful planning and decision making.
