Treebate is a Department of Water and Environmental Regulation program that is proudly supporting Western Australians to plant a native tree on their private property, with 10,000 rebates available each year for four years.
With two months left of its first year to go, there are more than 2000 Treebates still available to claim.
Gardening enthusiasts may have been seeing and hearing about Treebate a lot lately as the team has been busy out in the community.
The Treebate team has popped up at the WA Tree Festival and Perth Garden Show, as well as ENVIROFest, in recent months, encouraging and educating the Western Australian public on the importance of planting native trees in backyards.
Treebate has a simple mission: Helping to make our neighbourhoods greener, unlocking a range of social, economic and environmental benefits for the entire community.
It is open to all Western Australian residents 18 years and over, offering a cash rebate of up to $150 on the purchase of one native tree that will grow to over 3 metres in height at maturity.
It’s as easy as One, Two, Tree. One: Buy a tree. Two: Plant the tree. Tree: Claim your rebate.
Treebate is part of the State Government’s first-ever Urban Greening Strategy, supporting the government’s commitment to increasing urban canopy to 30 per cent by 2040 and plant a million trees by 2035.
The fastest and easiest way to claim the rebate is via the ServiceWA app.
