The City of Canning developed its Urban Forest Strategy in 2019 with a vision of creating a resilient urban forest to enhance the liveability and sustainability of the City over the next 20 years and beyond.
The City of Canning currently has an average canopy cover of 7.6%, one of the lowest in the Perth metropolitan region. Increasing canopy cover in these areas will be pivotal for reducing identified urban heat islands, especially in the face of a changing and hotter climate.
The Strategy outlines an action plan with goals for increasing urban canopy throughout Canning by 22% over 20 years, increasing total canopy cover to 9.3% by 2039.
The public comment period for the Urban Forest Strategy was completed and the Strategy was endorsed by Council in late 2019.
