Sun 2 Feb - World Wetlands Day (Where Art Thou Dear Wetland?)

Time for another action on World Wetlands Day. While our cries to keep the current wetland have fallen on the deaf ears of our political leaders, we are on the search of a new one.

Join us at 430pm at the now boarded up "wetlands" close to the Art Gallery of WA. Bring your watering cans and gloves and we’ll go searching through the Perth Cultural Centre for a wetland - and creating art and awareness as we go!

The fences are up and we now only have limited access to our beloved wetland in the Perth Cultural Centre (PCC) but let’s not give up!

You are invited to join the SAVE PERTH’S URBAN WETLANDS group On World Wetlands Day to demand a reconsideration of the latest Cook government’s redevelopment plan for the PCC. 

The ‘bigger and better’ plan announced in September ‘24, does not include a wetland and is, quite frankly, dry, dead and boring.  There are no ‘world class’ innovations or design aspects to speak of, but instead the wetland in the original plan has now been replaced by a massive screen at an additional cost of $20M.  When the antidote to screen addiction is nature, it is simply outrageous that our government is going against the world-wide trend of re-wilding spaces and prioritising wetlands.  

The Labor government is not listening and refuse to meet with us, so it’s time for us to be loud and bold!

Grab some free tickets so we know you’re coming!
