Landscaping will be a major feature of Perth Park, with current tree canopy to be more than doubled, and planting to include native species of trees, large shrubs, and wetland vegetation. A detailed study of existing trees is underway, with a view to identify trees suitable for retention, particularly within key public spaces, to help maintain existing character and continuity of canopy.

Native wetland vegetation will be integrated into biofiltration swales, parklands, and streetscapes. This approach reinforces the connection to place and ensures a resilient and low-maintenance landscape. The current artificial irrigation ponds will be relocated to the southeast of the precinct, where they will provide their same function as a stormwater basin, and provide a safe and healthy environment for local fauna adjacent to the urban forest.
