Advice on aspects of Bush Forever

Summary: This is not an assessment of the Environmental Protection Authority under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. The EPA strongly endorses Bush Forever as a sound approach for providing formal recognition of the value of Perth’s biodiversity and a commitment to a comprehensive plan for its conservation. There is an opportunity in Perth, unlike many other capital cities in the world, to conserve and maintain examples of much of the city’s rich natural biological heritage. Bush Forever is a key government initiative of long-term significance in achieving this objective. Bush Forever provides a framework for environmental planning for Perth that goes beyond biodiversity conservation, linking the landscape, cultural, community and educational values that help define the character and identity of this city.
