The Town of Bassendean has secured $3,350 through the Urban Greening Grant Program to enhance the urban forest at Hamilton Street Reserve. This funding will support the planting of 26 semi-mature native trees in winter 2025, as part of the Ashfield Flats Master Plan.
The project aims to boost local biodiversity, increase canopy cover, and enhance the parkland setting. These trees will be strategically spaced to maintain open areas for recreation, minimising bushfire risk while providing much-needed shade and reducing the urban heat island effect.

The Urban Greening Grants Program is delivered by the Town of Bassendean with the support of WALGA and funded by the Government of Western Australia.
