WATCA - WA Tree Canopy Advocates

📍Bayswater. What would YOU call this? 🪓We don’t know whether this “pruning” was carried out by Western Power or the City of Bayswater, but in the city with Australia’s lowest canopy, surely we can do better.

🏡We know how to build suburbs with trees because we've done it for generations. But under WA's current state planning framework, every single tree can be cleared before development even begins.🪓We're building new suburbs with no trees and it's not sustainable. We need urgent planning reform so new suburbs retain canopy. Trees + housing don’t need to compete - we can do both. Change the rules. 🌳🏡
