The City of Nedlands in partnership with the Swanbourne Coastal Alliance and the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Coastwest Program are implementing a coastal restoration project along the primary dunes in Swanbourne.
This project aims to increase the ecological integrity of the entire coastal corridor by enhancing linkages to adjacent bushland areas north and south in Cottesloe and Cambridge.
Brushing is due to be installed on degraded areas in the coming weeks prior to winter revegetation works that will install approximately 6000 local provenance species. Ongoing weed control will also be undertaken throughout the project.
This project will assist the City to reduce erosion, control environmental weeds as well as increase habitat and improve ecological corridors.
For queries, please contact the City's Environmental Conservation Coordinator on (08) 9273 3500. Further updates on this project will be posted on this page.

In the past, City of Nedlands staff have provided flowers or petals to members of the public, upon request, for special events.
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of requests, the City has been forced to restrict the gesture to authorised community and charity groups.
This decision has been made to ensure staff can continue to ensure the Peace Memorial Rose Garden remains a special place for everyone to share.

Proposed Parking Prohibitions - Smyth Road
Share Proposed Parking Prohibitions - Smyth Road on Facebook Share Proposed Parking Prohibitions - Smyth Road on Twitter Share Proposed Parking Prohibitions - Smyth Road on Linkedin Email Proposed Parking Prohibitions - Smyth Road link
The City has completed a review of parking prohibitions on Smyth Road. The City considers the on-street parking for Smyth Road, between Stirling Highway and Gordon Street, is not appropriate due to narrow pavement width and relatively high traffic volumes of approximately 5,000 vehicles per day. The parking obstructs the flow of traffic and creates unsafe conditions for road users.
It is proposed to change the existing 3 hour parking prohibition to No Parking 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. Please refer to the document library to view the proposed changed to parking prohibitions.
For queries, please contact the Project Officer - Shaun Fletcher on (08) 9273 3500. Further updates on this project will be posted on this page.
Feedback in relation to this proposal will be accepted until Monday 8 April 2019 by providing comment on this page or emailing council@nedlands.wa.gov.au.
