Imagine what Western Australia could look like if we invested in the things that matter.
Imagine if we put people first and addressed the massive inequality that continues to grow in our state.
Imagine if we invested in infrastructure for the future, starting with an affordable, connected public transport system that would mean we could design our city differently and take the pressure off our roads, land and precious natural places.
Imagine if we protected our children’s future and took serious action on global warming by investing in renewable energy and diversifying our economy.
The Greens have set out a plan to achieve this vision. Comprised of a series of detailed studies and policy initiatives, our plan provides a tangible, costed transition for a truly sustainable, prosperous and connected WA.
Perth's Urban Forest
The Greens have a plan to keep our city cool and beautiful with a protected network of Urban Forests, linked together with green corridors, tree-lined streets, parks and backyard gardens. With smart planning we can all live within a 5 minute walk of our local park or greenway, stay cool in summer, and protect Perth’s precious natural places. Green cities are beautiful cities, healthy cities and resilient cities.
Transit City
After years of inadequate planning and insufficient investment in efficient and reliable transport options, Perth residents have become heavily dependent on private vehicles. Without changing the way public transport is currently planned and prioritised, congestion will continue to worsen which impacts individuals, businesses and the environment.
Transit City will provide all residents and visitors, including those in the outer suburbs, with the opportunity to go from anywhere to anywhere efficiently and conveniently.

Design Perth & Transforming Perth
Ever wondered how we will accommodate Perth’s anticipated population growth, without destroying our suburbs, heritage treasures, green spaces and character we love, while putting the brakes on Perth’s urban sprawl? How can we provide more affordable housing where people want to live, near work, schools, shops and entertainment? How do we reduce traffic congestion, car dependence and make public transport more efficient and convenient?
Building on our award winning Transforming Perth study, the Greens latest project #DesignPerth is a collaboration between Property Council, CODA and CUSP that showcases what could be possible here in Perth with world class urban design. It identifies roadblocks to us achieving a more connected, liveable and sustainable city and offers some solutions to overcome them, including the need to build meaningful community engagement into our planning processes.

Energy 2030
100% Renewable Energy in WA is within our reach if we act with the urgency and ambition that the climate emergency and changing economy demands. It’s time to step up.
The past fifteen years have seen a massive increase in renewable energy deployment around the world, driven by rising fossil fuel costs and the now unmistakable impacts of the changing climate. Runaway advances in solar, wind and other clean energy technologies have caused costs to fall rapidly. The Greens believe Australia should invest in the next generation of clean, affordable energy infrastructure.
Just one year since we released Energy 2030, the costs to construct and operate large scale renewables have fallen so much that they’re now competitive with — or even cheaper than — any fossil generation. This is why we’ve updated our Energy 2029 study and found it’s now the same cost or cheaper to reach 100% renewable electricity than continue with business as usual by 2029 (by Levelized Cost of Energy).

Bike Vision
The Greens' BikeVision 2029 proposes to make Perth the world's best city for cyclists. We could do this with just 3% of the State transport budget, plus contributions from federal and local governments, we can fill the massive gaps in the bike network, introduce a long-overdue maintenance budget and make our bike network one that works gets you from anywhere to anywhere across Perth, safely and easily.
