25-signature petition seeks privacy hedging for Cherokee Green homes
Administration is investigating a request to replace shrubbery beside Cherokee Park in Clarkson, with a report intended for Wanneroo Council’s September meeting.
A 25-signature petition seeking stronger privacy screening for properties beside Cherokee Park will go before the City of Wanneroo after an administration investigation.
Presented by Cr Berry, the petition requests replacement of existing shrubbery along the boundary between Cherokee Park and properties on the eastern side of Cherokee Green, Clarkson.
The requested replacement is established hedging designed to provide effective privacy screening comparable with that found along similar park boundaries, including Somerly Park.
Administration is investigating the request and intends to present a report to the September 2026 Ordinary Council meeting. That report will provide the next formal opportunity for the petition to be considered.
No decision has been made on replacing the shrubbery. The available information does not specify the type of plants proposed, the cost of the work, who would carry it out or when planting would occur.
The petition concerns the boundary treatment between the park and adjoining properties. It does not seek a change to the use of Cherokee Park.
For properties on Cherokee Green, the September report is expected to set out the City’s response to the privacy-screening request. Until then, the existing shrubbery remains under investigation.
The request is separate from another petition concerning Warradale Park. That petition, which has 57 signatures, seeks consideration of lake and pathway lighting, an update on exercise equipment, reviews of traffic-speed concerns, funding and resident consultation. Administration intends to report on that matter to the October 2026 Ordinary Council meeting.
