This page lists species planted by Cambridge Coastcare in the City Beach/Floreat area (ie within Town of Cambridge boundaries) since 2010. Where possible, the scientific name of the plant of the plant has been linked to extracts from Professor Kingsley Dixon’s book ‘Coastal Plants – A guide to the identification and restoration of plants of the Perth region’, published by CSIRO Publishing and copyright to Cambridge Coastcare Inc in 2010. We have linked the common name to Florabase compiled by the WA Herbarium, a unit of the Western Australian Department of Parks and Wildlife; Florabase also provides further photos and information about plant species.

The locations where we have planted in the table below are as follows:

• D1+2 = Dunes 1 & 2 – the dune area south of City of Perth SLSC
• Flt Bch= Floreat Beach – Areas adjacent to beach kiosk, BBQ area and car-parks, and in 2016, the sand dune behind the new shed at Floreat SLSC (in matting)
• FBD = Fred Burton dunes to the west of City Beach Ovals
• Chal Eco = Challenger Ecozone between Jubilee Crescent and Boscombe Avenue, south City Beach
• Chal E = area to the east of Challenger Parade in south City Beach between the chicanes
• Bwalk = Floreat Boardwalk, N – north end, S – south end, A – both ends
• N Flt = North Floreat – areas to the west of back-beach road north of Floreat SLSC (including adjacent to the car-park opposite end of Empire Avenue) and the dog-beach restoration areas between tracks 13 and 16
