Planting for the future🌳

In partnership with Richmond Primary School and Murdoch University, has helped to deliver a Miyawaki forest on the school grounds.

Originating from Japan, Miyawaki forests are a popular method for rapid urban greening.

Around 300 local native plants were planted last week to create a 100-square metre forest.

The Town contributed $17,700 towards the project, reinforcing its commitment to building a sustainable future and encouraging community initiatives that expand green spaces.

Ahead of the planting day, students learnt about the Miyawaki method and how to plant the forests from Dr Grey Coupland from Murdoch University who developed and leads the Miyawaki Forest Program.

Growing something special in East Fremantle 🌱

Students at Richmond Primary School will roll up their sleeves to create their own Miyawaki forest next week.

Around 300 native plants will be planted to transform a 100sqm area into a thriving urban Miyawaki forest - one of the fastest and most effective ways to boost biodiversity in urban spaces.

The project which is in partnership with Richmond Primary School, the Town and Murdoch University, reinforces the Town's commitment to urban greening and our Climate Emergency Action Plan 2023 - 2033.

Murdoch University will also use the project to investigate the impact of participation in the Miyawaki Forest Program on children's wellbeing and connection to nature.

The Town plans to use the project as a pilot for another Miyawaki forest planting opportunity in 2027.

Thank you for your feedback about Ulrich Park 🛝

Thank you to everyone who took the time to complete our playground survey. We really appreciate your input.

We are now compiling all of the feedback, which will help inform the concept design for a new playground in the new financial year.

As we move forward, the design will balance community ideas with budget, site conditions and safety requirements. Your feedback plays an important role in shaping the direction.

We look forward to sharing future updates as the project progresses.
