WA tree recovery replanting thousands of trees

The State Government’s WA Tree Recovery program was announced in August 2024. The program was established to replant thousands of trees affected by polyphagous shot-hole borer across Perth. Source: Timberbiz The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (the department) is working closely with local governments and the State Government to replant thousands of trees affected by polyphagous shot-hole borer. Shot-hole borer burrows deep in trees, causing dieback and tree death. There is no known chemical treatment anywhere in the world that can kill shot-hole borer once established; tree removal and pruning is the only option to reduce the spread. The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development is leading the unprecedented emergency biosecurity response to manage shot-hole borer, with the pest likely to have significant impact on WA’s urban canopy if it becomes established. Funding of $7.2 million over four years will be available to local government and State Government-owned lands, as well as to residential landowners, to replant trees that have been removed. The department is managing the delivery of the WA Tree Recovery program.
