Connected canopies at Iron Ore Parade, Newman
We were excited to be back in Newman recently to see how well the trees in the green spines of the Newman Town Centre revitalisation project have been growing. Planted in 2012, these Tipuana tipu (also known as ‘Pride of Bolivia’) at Iron Ore Parade were installed in double rows, with a tree on either side of the path.
The result, as the recent photo shows, is a connected canopy for maximised pedestrian comfort. With increasing awareness of the importance of urban canopy, it’s visual proof of our favourite tree proverb – “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now”.
Ocean Reef Marina Update
Progress at Ocean Reef Marina continues. Last last year, the State Government announced a funding uplift for the project to include Perth’s first coastal pool.
