The community at Bushmead has fast emerged as one of Perth’s most environmentally sustainable and forward-thinking communities. A lot of planning and consideration has gone into Bushmead’s masterplan, culminating in a community that is truly shaped by nature.
Bushmead’s environmental commitment
Bushmead is one of the exclusive communities in WA to have been awarded UDIA’s 5-Leaf EnviroDevelopment Accreditation. The benefits of this include:
- Lower household energy and water costs
- The opportunity to future-proof your home
- Improved wellbeing and lifestyle
- Added household value
- The chance to make a lasting difference
When you build a new home at Bushmead, you can also take your eco living to a new level. Every home comes complete with a brand-new rainwater tank up to 3,000L, provided by Cedar Woods at no charge to you.
Bushmead Conservation Cobbers
The Bushmead Conservation Cobbers are a local community group dedicated to caring to the flora and fauna of our Bushmead community. The Bushmead Conservation Cobbers host regular clean-ups and planting days, including a popular event at Clean Up Australia Day each March.

Waterwise landscaping
As an endorsed Waterwise Development, Bushmead takes waterwise landscaping seriously. When buying or building a home at Bushmead, you will receive advice about waterwise landscaping and choosing native plant species that are designed to withstand our hot WA summers.
This waterwise landscaping also extends to our various parks, playgrounds and green spaces dotted throughout Bushmead, including retaining mature trees in the design wherever possible.
185ha of retained natural bushland
The vision for Bushmead is to create a truly sustainable community that minimises its environmental footprint and ensures the many natural features, benefits and attractions of the local community can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Part of this vision has been shaping Bushmead’s masterplan around 185ha of retained natural bushland, which makes up over two thirds of the local community. This bushland is an important habitat for a huge range of native animal and bird species.
Healthy, active lifestyles
Together with its many eco living benefits, Bushmead helps to foster healthy, active lifestyles within the community. Here, you’ll enjoy many opportunities to step outside and get closer to nature, with a wide range of local parks, playgrounds and walking trails to explore.
Our parks and playgrounds page has more information about what you can expect at each location.
