The Civic and Administration Centre Front Gardens Renewal will create a greener, more welcoming entrance to the Administration Centre.
Designed around the site's existing mature lemon-scented gum trees, the project will transform underutilised garden areas into an attractive civic landscape. The garden will:
- celebrate Western Australian plants
- improves biodiversity
- create a more comfortable environment for visitors, staff and the community
- showcase waterwise planting, natural landscape materials and sustainable design approaches.
The garden will also provide inspiration for those wanting to add waterwise and native plants into their own gardens.
Project scope
- retention and protection of existing mature trees
- new trees, shrubs and groundcover planting
- improved garden beds and soil conditions
- waterwise and biodiversity-focused landscaping
- new pathways and pedestrian connections
- places to pause within the landscape
- natural stone and feature landscape elements
- upgraded irrigation infrastructure
- feature landscape lighting.
