Expression of Interest information

The Plants for Residents Program (PFR) for 2025 has been revised to better serve the growing number of residents in the City of Kalamunda. The updated program will provide residents with pre-selected packs of native plants. These plant packs are designed to promote biodiversity, support local fauna, and enhance the urban forest canopy.


What’s changed?​

You spoke, and we listened. Feedback from our community has highlighted equity concerns with our PFR delivery model. The ‘first-come, first-serve’ online system benefit some but may create barriers for others. To ensure everyone has a fair opportunity, we have shifted to an Expression of Interest (EOI) process. This change allows us to reach a more diverse audience while continuing to deliver on the environmental strategies shaped by your input.

Registrations open 1 March - 31 March 2025

Plant packs

Each pack has been designed to achieve specific environmental objectives and to create a fairer and simpler process for residents. The ‘pick-and-select’ option from previous years has been removed to ensure all plants are distributed evenly, minimising disappointment.

Each plant has been carefully selected based on waterwise and low-maintenance requirements, making them ideal for gardens within the City of Kalamunda Local Government area. Please note that individual species may vary due to propagation success and nursery growing conditions, and suitable substitutes will be provided to achieve the pack’s goals. Details on each plant pack can be found below:
