Schools and community groups can now apply for a share in the WA Government’s $10 million Let’s Grow grants program to support tree planting and greening projects across Perth and Peel.
The grants program is the first major initiative under the Let’s Grow Action Plan 2026-2030 to deliver the Government’s Perth and Peel Urban Greening Strategy.
The Let’s Grow grants program will provide $2.5 million per financial year for the next four years to combat urban heat and boost tree canopy.
Round one of the program includes two funding streams – small grants from $500 to $10,000 and large grants from $10,001 to $100,000.
“Actively greening our schools will give young people a strong connection to nature, while creating leafier, cooler spaces that benefit the whole neighbourhood,” said Education Minister, Sabine Winton.
“I encourage schools across Perth and Peel to identify planting opportunities in their local spaces and work with us to bring their greening ideas to life.”
The grants will fund local projects that increase tree canopy and greening across our suburbs, including on school grounds, road verges, parks, carparks, neighbourhood hubs, public transport stops, and walking and cycling routes.
Round one is open to schools and community groups in Perth and Peel.
“Our $10 million urban greening commitment provides direct support to projects that will boost tree canopy across Perth and Peel,” said Planning and Lands Minister, John Carey.
“We have also released the Let’s Grow Action Plan 2026-2030, which provides a framework for coordinated action to boost canopy across State Government, local councils, industry, schools, and the broader community.”
The grants close on 30 June 2026, or earlier if funds are fully allocated. For more information, visit wa.gov.au/letsgrow.
