Planning our parks for the future
The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has announced that groundwater use will be reduced by 10% by 2028. In response, the City of Nedlands is planning ahead to make sure we can continue to care for our parks while using less water.
Our goal is to use water more wisely while still providing green, welcoming, and high‑quality parks for the community to enjoy.
What is Enviroscape Planning?
To help achieve our goal, the City is using Enviroscape Planning, which is a smart, practical approach that looks at the whole picture when planning and managing parks. It combines long‑term strategy with day‑to‑day operations and is shaped by community feedback.
Enviroscape Planning is based on four key focus areas:
Cultural vibrancy – making sure parks are easy to access, enjoyable to use, and suit the needs of the community.
Economic responsibility – managing parks in a cost‑effective way over their full life.
Environmental care – protecting water sources, improving water efficiency, and increasing tree canopy.
Social inclusion – supporting strong community connections and involvement.
How this benefits our parks
Enviroscape Plans guide how the City upgrades and manages parks by focusing on:
Smart water use through hydro‑zoning and eco‑zoning
Better management of groundwater and the full water cycle
Well‑designed spaces that balance access, comfort, and environmental protection
Meeting community needs in the most cost‑effective way
Preparing parklands for future challenges like climate change
Prioritising where irrigation upgrades are needed most
Have your say
Residents and park users are invited to share their ideas and feedback on future improvements at two local parks:
Lawler Park(Floreat)
The previous plan for Lawler Park has been included on this consultation page for your reference. The City intends to revise this plan based on community feedback.
Masons Gardens(Dalkeith)
A Master Plan has not been previously developed for Masons Gardens. Community feedback will guide the development of this plan.
Feedback will help guide decisions about park facilities, landscaping, and future upgrades. We’re keen to hear your thoughts on:
The natural and built environment
Water conservation initiatives
Accessibility and ease of use
Comfort, amenities, and how the space is used
Whether the park meets the needs of the community
Your input will help shape parks that are sustainable, welcoming, fit for purpose and enjoyable—now and into the future.
