Blackford Street Reserve Eco-zoning

Published on Thursday, 21 March 2024 at 2:32:15 PM

The City of Vincent is committed to greening the environment and has completed several eco-zoning projects since the very first one in 2011.

Eco-zoning is the conversion of underutilised turfed areas into water-wise native garden areas and Blackford Street Reserve in Mt Hawthorn is Vincent’s latest project.

Newly eco-zoned areas are designed to become self-sufficient within one to two years of installation, at which time the native garden areas will not need irrigation at all. 

Replacing turf with native plantings increases habitat and food sources for our local fauna. Supporting and caring for our local systems leads to healthy and thriving eco-systems. 

We’d like to hear what native planting the community would like to see in the reserve.
