Sustainability Strategy For the Gardens at Parliament House As one of the State’s main civic buildings, Parliament has a strong commitment to ensuring that the gardens are an icon for current and future Western Australians. The establishment of native gardens reflective of the different regions of the State in 2010-11 was recognition by Parliament of its role in representing and making decisions for all Western Australians. It also forms part of a broader sustainability strategy around water conservation through the

Gascoyne Region planting of native species.
