Hurlingham Living Stream
The City of South Perth is launching a new conservation initiative as part of the Swan Canning Riverpark Urban Forest program.
This project, valued at $925,708, is supported by $602,350 in funding from the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, with the City contributing the remainder.
The project will transform the Hurlingham Drain and parts of the surrounding grass area into a vibrant, planted living stream, aligning with the City’s South Perth Foreshore Strategy and Management Plan 2015 for Node 7: The Lakes.
By planting native shrubs, rushes, and sedges, the living stream will improve water quality flowing into the Swan Canning Estuary and foster greater biodiversity.
This man-made channel will not only enhance the park's natural beauty but also create a diverse habitat for local wildlife, contributing to the area's ecological health.
The project will be implemented in two stages over two years commencing in 2024 and will be due for completion late 2026 and is part of the City’s approach to urban greening. Find out more at Your Say South Perth.
