Help Design Brentwood's Community Forest
Delivering more green space for Brentwood
I’m delivering a vibrant community pocket forest at Ces Deceau Reserve — and you can help design it.
This $120,000 investment will transform an underutilised block into a thriving green space for Brentwood. It’s just one of the ways I’m protecting parks and open space in Bateman and creating greener, cooler suburbs for our community.
Designed by locals
This is your forest and your ideas matter.
Through community design workshops and planting days, you can play a hands-on role in shaping the space and bringing it to life.
This project reflects the Cook Labor Government’s commitment to cooler communities and protecting the public spaces that bring people together.
A thriving native forest for our community
This compact forest will grow quickly and feature more than 25 locally native species chosen to support black cockatoos and other local wildlife.
Delivered in partnership with Regenerate Australia and the City of Melville, it will be one of the first community pocket forests on a local government-managed site, setting a new benchmark for greener suburbs across Perth.
The pocket forest will:
- Increase tree canopy and help reduce urban heat
- Provide vital habitat for black cockatoos
- Boost biodiversity and improve local air quality
- Create a welcoming place to connect with nature
Planting is planned for winter 2026.
