The City of Gosnells has once again earned Gold Waterwise accreditation from the Water Corporation, recognising its strong commitment to sustainable water management.

Director of Infrastructure Martyn Glover was also honoured with an inaugural Waterwise Champion Award for his leadership in water efficiency initiatives.

The Gold Waterwise accreditation acknowledges WA local governments that demonstrate leadership in sustainable water management. The new Waterwise Champion Award celebrates individuals who demonstrate passion, creativity and leadership to drive change in water efficiency.

Mayor Terresa Lynes congratulated Glover on his achievement.

“Martyn has been a driving force behind the City’s efforts toward holistic and integrated water cycle management, green space planning and the Smart Drainage program, making him a worthy recipient of this award,” she said.

Lynes said retaining the Gold Waterwise accreditation was a huge success given Perth had experienced record dry weather in the past two years.

“Our climate is getting drier each year, which makes this Gold Waterwise accreditation even more important,” she said. “By thinking carefully about where the City uses water and how we can make that more efficient and effective, the City continues to improve our environment while saving ratepayer dollars.”

Key initiatives contributing to the City’s recognition include:

  • planting over 1100 trees and 3000 understorey plants in Canning Vale with support from a $115,000 Urban Greening Grant;
  • promoting waterwise gardening through community programs like Plants for Local giveaway and a demonstration garden at Amherst Village Community Centre;
  • upgrading Mary Carroll Park to enhance community connection to water;
  • implementing irrigation efficiencies and the award-winning Smart Drainage project.
