Invitation to Comment on the Draft City of Kwinana Urban Forest Strategy 2024 - 2044The City of Kwinana Draft Urban Forest Strategy was adopted by Council for public consultation on the 11th of December 2024. The Boola Maara Aboriginal Consultative Committee were engaged to review and provided comment on the Draft Urban Forest Strategy at their December 2nd 2024 meeting. The Community is now invited to comment on the Draft Strategy over a four week consultation period, closing Friday June 6th, 2025What is an Urban ForestUrban forests can be defined as all vegetation growing within the urban environment. This consists of two categories: the understory, such as shrubs and hedges up to 3m, and the tree canopy, which is any vegetation above 3m.(Better Urban Forest Planning, WA Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, 2018).<h2>Purpose of the Urban Forest Strategy</h2>The City of Kwinana&rsquo;s Draft Urban Forest Strategy 2024&ndash;2044 outlines a comprehensive, long-term plan to expand, manage, and protect the urban forest on both public and private land. This strategy aims to enhance livability, mitigate climate change, and provide social, environmental, and economic benefits for the community through strategic management of urban trees and green spaces. The Strategy&#39;s vision is to create an urban forest canopy that is evenly distributed for the benefit of everyone and manage it to remain a sustainable and resilient asset for our communities. The urban forest strategy will:<ol><li>Guide the protection, management and growth of Kwinana&#39;s urban forest</li><li>Set data driven goals and targets</li><li>Provide clear direction to achieve targets and goals through actions.</li></ol>Current Canopy Cover and Our Vision for the FutureThe City&rsquo;s current canopy cover is 19.8%, which places us in a strong position compared to the Perth metropolitan average of 16%. However, certain areas have significantly lower tree canopy coverage, and urban growth and climate change pressures present major challenges in maintaining and expanding the urban forest.The Draft Urban Forest Strategy considers ambitious, yet achievable 20-year canopy cover targets aimed at increasing coverage to mitigate the urban heat island effect and enhance environmental resilience. The targets are based on different land-use zones and represent the best-case scenario considering geographical location and available funding. The targets for the future urban forest are:&bull; Residential areas: Increase from 14.7% to 18.3%&bull; Industrial areas: Increase from 6.6% to 9%&bull; Public open space: Increase from 24% to 30%&bull; Overall canopy cover: Increase from 19.8% to 22.6%.Achieving these targets requires planting thousands of new trees.Benefits of an Urban Forest <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/2bfcf5e06a649c529cae01b6a29abf1df777fba4/original/1745383358/1cdfe1c972251949000b13683fd45ab1_UFS%20Benifits.png?1745383358" style="width: 966px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> How much will it cost?The Draft Urban Forest Strategy provides detailed financial projections for tree planting, maintenance, and canopy management. Over the 20-year period, the City will need to invest strategically to ensure the success of the urban forest, with funds allocated for tree planting, community engagement, and monitoring technologies. A comprehensive education, engagement and communications plan has been developed as part of the Strategic Community Plan to seek community feedback in achieving these goalsThe Strategy is set to begin implementation in the 2026/2027 budget, with an initial allocation of $250,000, followed by annual increases. The pace of investment will depend on the community&rsquo;s preferred timeline for achieving the targets. At a slower rate, approximately 50% of the target tree plantings will be completed within 20 years. Alternatively, a faster approach can be taken to achieve the full planting target within the same timeframe. Full canopy coverage is expected to be reached 10 years after planting.Are there any ongoing costs? Yes &ndash; however, these costs are factored into the annual increase required to deliver the strategy.Is this a community priority? Yes! The intent of the Draft Urban Forest Strategy is part of the communities desire for improved streetscapes, parks and natural areas that reflect the importance of tree conservation and good environmental management. The Strategic Community Plan has shown that playgrounds, parks and reserves are within the top six community priorities.Your FeedbackEngaging the community in the Draft Urban Forest Strategy is essential to making sure our residents play a key role in shaping the look, feel, and future development of our City for generations to come.

Step Into Spring

<h1>Award-Winning Inspiration</h1>The Multi-Unit Dwelling (MUD) Party builds on the City&rsquo;s nationally recognised Street-by-Street initiative, winner of the 2024 WasteSorted Awards for Community Engagement. It brings that same energy and innovation to the often-overlooked world of apartments and shared housing.<h2>What is the MUD Party?</h2>The MUD Party is the next evolution of the City of Kwinana&rsquo;s award-winning Street-by-Street program, this time tailored for apartments, units, and complexes.MUDs often face unique challenges with shared bin systems, space constraints, and higher contamination rates. The MUD Party was created to meet those challenges head-on, with the same community spirit, face-to-face fun, and practical education that made Street-by-Street such a success.<h2>Why We Created It</h2>The three-bin system is now available to most homes across Kwinana, but not all.Multi-unit dwellings (like apartments and unit complexes) were left out of the first rollout. That&rsquo;s because they face some tricky challenges: <ul><li>High contamination rates: In shared bin areas, it&#39;s more common for the wrong items to end up in the wrong bin.</li><li>No clear responsibility: Everyone uses the same bins, so it&rsquo;s hard to know who&rsquo;s doing the right thing (or the wrong thing). That makes it harder to improve habits.</li><li>Not enough space or clear sign: Bin areas are often small, confusing, or missing labels, so residents don&rsquo;t always know which bin is which or what goes where.</li></ul> This program is here to change that. We&rsquo;re working directly with these sites to improve their bins, reduce contamination, and help residents get it right. <h2>What Happens at a MUD Party?</h2>The MUD Party brings everything you loved about Street-by-Street - but designed specifically for unit complexes:<ul><li>Live &lsquo;Face Your Waste&rsquo; bin audits: The Waste Team will go through your complex&rsquo;s bins with residents and give personalised feedback on how to improve sorting. It&rsquo;s a hands-on, practical way to learn what goes where, and what doesn&rsquo;t.</li><li>Games, giveaways, and prizes: Enjoy fun activities and freebies.</li><li>Talk directly with City staff: Meet friendly team members from Waste, Community Safety, and other departments. Ask questions, share ideas, and learn about the services available to your complex.</li><li>Build stronger neighbour connections: Did you know that simply knowing your neighbours is one of the best ways to improve local safety? Start a WhatsApp group or Facebook chat, share updates, and build a stronger sense of community where you live.</li></ul><h2>How It Works &ndash; Step by Step</h2> 1. Audit and AssessmentWe visit your complex to review how the current waste system is working. We check bin types, look at contamination levels, and identify where improvements can be made, whether it&rsquo;s more bins, better signage, or clearer instructions.At the same time, we&rsquo;ll carry out a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) assessment. This looks at how the physical environment affects safety and comfort. Recommendations might be as simple as trimming a hedge to improve visibility or adding a light to deter antisocial behaviour.2. InstallationWorking with your strata manager or board members, we organise a full bin store makeover. This can include new bins, clear signage, floor markings, colour coordination, and other tools to make waste sorting easier for everyone.3. The MUD PartyNow for the fun part! We bring our community pop-up event right to your complex. You&rsquo;ll get to see the results of the initial audit, you&rsquo;ll meet neighbours, connect with Council staff, and get involved in hands on learning about waste, safety, and community connection.4. Follow-upA few weeks later, we&rsquo;ll return for a final audit to see what&rsquo;s changed. We&rsquo;ll measure improvements, offer extra support if needed, and celebrate the progress your complex has made. <h3>Ready to Host a MUD Party at Your Complex?</h3>If you&#39;re a strata manager, resident, or committee member of a multi-unit dwelling in Kwinana, we want to hear from you.Contact your strata manager or the Waste Team at <a href="mailto:EnvironmentWaste@kwinana.wa.gov.au">environmentwaste@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a> to see if your site qualifies and book in the program.

We&rsquo;re reaching out to gather your feedback on a proposal to improve road safety on Runnymede Gate between Lambeth Circle and Gilmore Avenue, Wellard. As part of our ongoing efforts to make our community safer and more liveable, we&rsquo;d love to hear your thoughts! BackgroundWe&#39;ve assessed Runnymede Gate in response to concerns raised by the local community. Traffic surveys recorded 85th percentile speeds reaching 63km/h, exceeding the 50 km/h limit by 26%, and there is a noticeable &quot;rat-running&quot; traffic pattern, where drivers use Runnymede Gate to bypass arterial routes and avoid busier intersections. Crash statistics show that more than 20 crashes have occurred along above-mentioned segment in the past five years, with 7 crashes resulting in medical or hospital severity. In addition, this segment serves as critical corridor for cyclists and pedestrians walking to Wellard Village. In response to these challenges, the City has secured funding from the Main Roads WA Black Spot Funding program for this project, with detailed design scheduled for the 2025-26 financial year, with construction planned for the 2026-27 financial year. What&rsquo;s Being Proposed? We&rsquo;re proposing to install Raised Road Safety platforms along the above-mentioned segment. These low-profile, Watts profile safety platforms are designed to:<ul style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;" type="disc"><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:16px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:justify;'>Reduce vehicle speeds and accidents</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:16px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:justify;'>Be cost-effective to install and maintain</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:16px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:justify;'>Help reduce traffic volumes and discourage through traffic</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:16px;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;text-align:justify;'>Provide a visual cue for drivers to slow down and adjust to a safer driving environment</li></ul> <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/c5b82c8542cae6b7ec613fa4a794129663bb4450/original/1742443551/f504db38b86200dee1cd75be22fb7918_Picture1.png?1742443551" style="width: 367px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">(An example of the proposed Watts Profile Safety Platforms) Compared to traditional speed humps, these watts profile safety platforms will provide smoother transitions, reduce noise, improve emergency vehicle access, and enhance drainage. While they may add a minute or two to your travel time, the safety benefits for everyone&mdash;drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists&mdash;are well worth it.

Upskill Your Way 

Following our initial consultation in December 2024 regarding proposed traffic calming measures on Christmas Avenue in Orelia, we are pleased to inform you that community feedback indicated overall support for this approach. We sincerely appreciate your participation in this road safety initiative. The project is currently scheduled for implementation, with anticipated completion by June 2025. Residents will receive advance notification before construction begins. <hr> Thank you for your valuable contribution to the Safety Upgrades to Christmas Avenue project, we appreciate your feedback and insights. The project is officially closed to new submissions, and we are in the process of reviewing all received feedback.We will keep you updated on the progress and outcomes of the review process. Thank you once again for your involvement! <hr> We&rsquo;re reaching out to gather your feedback on a proposal to improve road safety on Christmas Avenue, between Gilmore Avenue and Orelia Avenue, Orelia. As part of our ongoing efforts to make our community safer and more liveable, we&rsquo;d love to hear your thoughts! Background We&rsquo;ve assessed Christmas Avenue in response to concerns raised by the local community. Traffic surveys show that vehicles are travelling at speeds of up to 60 km/h (the posted limit is 50 km/h), and there&rsquo;s a noticeable amount of &ldquo;rat-running,&rdquo; where drivers use Christmas Avenue to avoid busier intersections. This road also plays a key role for cyclists and children walking to local schools and Orelia Park. What&rsquo;s Being Proposed: We&rsquo;re proposing to install Speed humps along Christmas Avenue. These low-profile, Watts profile safety platforms are designed to:<ul type="disc"><li>Reduce vehicle speeds and accidents.</li><li>Be cost-effective to install and maintain.</li><li>Help reduce traffic volumes and discourage through traffic.</li><li>Provide a visual cue for drivers to slow down and adjust to a safer driving environment.</li></ul> <div class="fr-img-space-wrap"><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/cda894302e777d3d9a5bb9c4eb1d4c1cf9d07975/original/1733439404/2cffc9dc5edd81f20ce2d3d63d1a9d4e_watts_profile_speed_hump.png?1733439404">An example of the proposed Speed humps, Watts Profile Safety Platforms </div>The speed humps will provide smoother transitions, reduce noise, improve emergency vehicle access, and enhance drainage. While they may add a minute or two to your travel time, the safety benefits for everyone&mdash;drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists&mdash;are well worth it. We invite residents to complete their feedback below by 4pm Monday 23 December 2024 We understand that changes like this can raise questions, and we&rsquo;re here to address any concerns you might have. Our goal is to work together with the community to make the best decisions for everyone&rsquo;s safety and well-being. Written comments will be accepted until 4pm Monday 23 December 2024. Alternatively, you can reach us by:<ul type="disc"><li>Phone: (08) 9439 0200</li><li>Email: <a href="mailto:customer@kwinana.wa.gov.au">customer@kwinana.wa.gov.au</a></li></ul> Thank you for taking the time to consider this important matter. We look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you for your valuable contribution to the Safety Upgrades to Marri Park project, we appreciate your feedback and insights.The project is officially closed to new submissions, and we are in the process of reviewing all received feedback.We will keep you updated on the progress and outcomes of the review process.Thank you once again for your involvement! The City of Kwinana seeks your feedback on additional safety measures along Marri Park Drive. Marri Park Drive has been a hotspot for hooning and speeding for an extended period, resulting in multiple runoff crashes. While speeding and hooning are primarily law enforcement issues, the City is committed to enhancing road safety for both locals and road users. After thorough investigations, traffic calming measures have been identified as an effective solution to curb these dangerous behaviours. BackgroundThere has been a long history of community requests to install traffic calming on this road to reduce traffic speeds and improve safety. Previously, the City has already implemented centre and edge line markings to narrow the lane width and enhance delineation, which has shown some success in reducing speeds. However, these measures alone are insufficient to deter hooning behaviour. Implementing additional traffic calming measures is necessary to ensure the safety of all road users on Marri Park Drive. The City has secured Black Spot funding from Main Roads WA to help fund the design and construction of traffic calming measures along Marri Park Drive. The Black Spot projects identify road locations where crashes are /or unsafe driving behaviour is occurring or at risk of occurring. Share your experienceIt is important that the people that live and work in these areas can share their experience in relation to traffic issues in their local neighbourhood. We want to insert this knowledge in the design process, to create traffic plans to address local issues. We invite residents to complete their feedback below by Friday 1st November 2024 and to choose from the options below: Option 1: Horizontal Deflection &ndash; Slow Points / Modified IntersectionAdvantages:<ul style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-top:0cm;" type="disc"><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Reduces vehicle speeds at the device location and, when used in series, along the entire street.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Significantly lowers the number of road crashes.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Provides opportunities for landscaping enhancements.</li></ul><img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/34df5c9d66c3727ff2e63062133c36240095cf88/original/1726213287/7d8cf6274fc89bd41f614a96f80bcd27_Horizontal_Deflection_-_slow_points_Mod_intersection.png?1726213287" style="width: 551px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-bordered fr-rounded"> Option 2: Vertical Devices &ndash; Speed Humps/Speed PlateausAdvantages:<ul style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-top:0cm;" type="disc"><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Dramatically decreases vehicle speeds and crashes.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Cost-effective to install and maintain.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>May reduce traffic volumes due to slower speeds and increased travel times.</li><li style='margin:0cm;font-size:15px;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif;'>Potentially discourages through traffic.</li></ul> <img src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ehq-production-australia/82fec9f1777ad8e7e363e5e52a48247ee5ad5ee0/original/1726213317/771537b5b52381b6dbad45bd997a7964_opt_2_vertical_devices__speed_humps_speed_plateaus.png?1726213317" style="width: 587px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-bordered fr-rounded"> Option 3: No further changes implemented for the next 2-5 yearsThe City has already implemented centre and edge line markings to narrow the lane width, which has shown some success in reducing speeds.

The Gilmore Avenue Shared Path Project (Stage 2) is complete and we want to hear from you.The three-metre wide shared path along Gilmore Avenue, which now extends from Thomas Road to Wellard Road, aims to better connect the community and support active travel. The project has been jointly funded by the City of Kwinana and the State Government as part of the WA Bicycle Network Grants Program.The City recognises the benefits of replacing short car trips with more active modes of travel, such as walking, wheeling, riding or taking public transport.
