Perth's Eastern Region

Perth's Eastern Region stretches from the edge of the Perth CBD, along the Swan River through urban residential, commercial and industrial areas, to the scenic Swan Valley and into the forest of prime agricultural land of the Darling Ranges.

The region covers approximately one third of the Perth metropolitan area, has world class wineries, an abundance of heritage and cultural attractions and some of the State's most beautiful national parks and walking trails all within 5-45 minutes of Perth's CBD.

The local governments of the region have been tackling climate change through reducing their corporate greenhouse gas emissions from facilities, operations and fleet management through the Cities for Climate Protection program (2000-2009) and now through their Carbon Emissions Reduction project and a range of community projects. The EMRC and all member Councils are also currently working on regional and local climate change adaptation planning.

The EMRC and its member Councils have worked with all consortium partners to bring the Perth Solar City to the communities of Perth's Eastern Region. The project represents significant industry, State and Australian Government investment into preparing these communities for a low carbon economy through smarter ways to produce, use and save energy.
