Our Projects

The 2021 Community Capacity Assessment (CCA) project seeks to understand the challenges facing natural resource management groups and volunteers in order to provide better support and planning.

This project focused on partnerships and volunteering, through regional funding under the National Landcare Programme.

Creating new Black Pygmy Mussel beds in the upper Swan-Canning Estuary may improve overall estuary health and provide a food source encouraging the repopulation of key fishery species.

Food Future is about ensuring the generations to come have access to safe, healthy and local fresh food.

Citizen Science Project: ‘Turning gardeners into conservationists: using gardens to conserve wildlife.’

Our region supports one of the largest remnant populations of the Glossy Leaf Hammer Orchid

This program was a joint initiative between Perth NRM, Wheatbelt NRM and the Rivers and Estuaries Division at the Department of Parks and Wildlife.

Industries around the world are adopting new performance standards such as triple-bottom line reporting. Perth NRM is investigating tools for applying environmental reporting in agriculture.

The Planning for Climate Change Project ensured the development of the Swan Region Strategy for Natural Resource Management incorporated latest climate change knowledge.

The Sediment Task Force is coordinated by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions as part of their Healthy Catchments Program.

Perth NRM works with stakeholders to secure and implement Smart Farms Small Grants from the Australian Government.

Imagine if you could answer all the important sustainability questions about your produce at the point of purchase. Perth NRM has been developing a methodology/technology that could do exactly that.

This project is currently targeting the Middle Canning region of our major river systems, with support from the Australian Government's Environmental Restoration Fund.

The Swan Region Strategy for Natural Resource Management provides a strategic, integrated framework for natural resource management in the Swan Region of Western Australia.

Improving the condition of Threatened Ecological Communities, Stage 2

This Regional Land Partnership project will manage populations and habitat at a local scale to improve the trajectory and distribution of priority species.

Food security relates to a region's capacity to produce (or access) sufficient, nutritious produce to feed its population. With a growing population and changing climate, it's time for a plan.
