The City’s Parks and Environment team is working on an intensive two-month maintenance program to get local parks and reserves in top shape for summer.
Throughout September and October, the team will be out in force spraying weeds, fertilising, vertimowing and repairing turf, as well as top dressing Tom Bateman, Sutherlands Park F and Harmony Fields sports reserves.
City staff recently joined the Maddington Kenwick Sustainable Communities Partnership and Community Leadership Network (CLN) for a tree planting day at the recently upgraded Packer Park in Kenwick.
Some 1000 native trees were planted by local volunteers and students to enhance the refurbished park, which now features a new playground and gazebo, seating, paving and turf. Barbecues are expected to be installed next year.

Targa rally revs up

The Targa West rally revved up at Forrest Place this morning as a field of 85 cars crossed the ceremonial starting line.
The cars will compete against time in racing arenas and special stages made from closed-off public roads.
The road closures will mainly affect the streets of Perth's hills where areas of Kalamunda, Gosnells, Mundaring and Armadale will host some of the fastest driving legally allowed on Perth's roads.
The rally has become one of Australia's premier tarmac racing events, along with the Classic Adelaide and Targa Tasmania.
It has attracted some of the biggest names in Australian rally driving, along with the best cars in the country.
It has also become the premier amateur motorsport event in WA.
Australian racing legend Peter Brock was a competitor in the 2006 Targa West rally.
He died when his car hit a tree during the event.
The rally will finish on Sunday.
