Park Improvement Program
The City's park improvement program is designed to help green our City and respond to the needs of residents who use them.
Planting trees and creating eco-zoned areas with native plants benefits local biodiversity, provides food and habitat for wildlife, and reduces water usage. It also contributes to creating an important component of the City's urban forest.
Improvements may include elements such as new plantings, turf rehabilitation, ecozoning areas, improved accessibility, lighting, seating or playground upgrades.
If you have any questions or would like further information on any of the works, contact the City’s Park Services team via parkservices@bayswater.wa.gov.au

Tree planting to support Carnaby's Black Cockatoos
The City is partnering with The University of Western Australia (UWA) to help protect one of WA’s most iconic endangered species, the Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo, from extinction.
Carnaby’s Black Cockatoos are found only in the south-west of WA, with populations declining due to loss of habitat and food sources.
As part of the Corridors for Carnaby’s program – spearheaded by renowned botanist and UWA Professor Kinglsey Dixon AO – the City will plant 200 macadamia trees to provide additional food sources for local Carnaby’s flocks.
UWA researchers identified the City of Bayswater as a priority area due to regular sightings of a major flock of 50 or more Carnaby’s and the presence of valuable remnant Banksia woodland in Noranda.
During September, the City will be planting at the following parks:
McKenzie Reserve Lawrence Reserve Hampton Square Reserve McPherson Reserve Battersea Reserve Halliday Park Weld Square Reserve Belstead Reserve Drake Street Reserve Rhodes Reserve Tranby Reserve Robert Thompson Reserve Toowong Reserve To find out more, visit corridorsforcarnabys.com
