Native Plant Subsidy Scheme

The Native Plant Subsidy Scheme returns from Thursday May 1 to Saturday May 31.

Residents will be able to purchase subsidised native seedlings grown by local nursery Apace.

During the month of May Cottesloe residents can purchase up to 40 plants per household at the subsidised price of $3.00 each from APACE Nursery (1 Johannah Street, North Fremantle).

Apace nursery's retail hours during May 2025: Wed - Sat: 8:30am-2pm

This is a fantastic opportunity to choose water wise native plants that are adapted to thrive in Perth’s environment. Local plant species don’t just look beautiful, they can provide food and shelter for native animals and pollinators and help shade and cool your house and garden.

Visit apacewa.org.au for further details. This is a Western Suburbs Alliance initiative. Please take proof of residency when you visit APACE. 

If you’re planning to create a waterwise garden, Town of Cottesloe residents are welcome to free mulch from the West Metro Recycling Centre. There’s no need to call ahead – just visit the centre in Shenton Park (bring a shovel) and help yourself! Find out more here.
