Interesting statistic from the article:
"Perth has the least tree canopy of any Australian capital city..."
We have King's Park, and that's honestly amazing. But yes, there is hardly any green in the CBD. Even Central Park is privately owned.
I didn't even know that parklet was called Central Park. A more appropriate name is surely 'Path with some Grass'
That is what surprised me. King's Park is one of the largest inner-city parks in the world.
New suburbs with no substantial trees, or only small establishing trees, are going to tip the balance toward lowest tree-canopy numbers..
The idea to retain trees and pre-existing growth in new development areas is a step forward. The clear-felling for new suburbs at the moment is such a mood kill on the area.
Massive mood kill, especially in summer. Those streets are deserted in summer, everybody sticking to their own little caves.
The new developments in my area, East of Perth, have retained some trees as they're building. I think its council regs again though, so can't say the same for other parts of Perth.
