The State Government’s Treebate program was announced in January 2025. The program will encourage Western Australians to plant native trees on their properties.
Help make your neighbourhood greener and get a cash rebate too. For the next four years, up to 10,000 Western Australians a year can claim a rebate on the purchase of a native tree to plant on their private property as part of the new Treebate initiative.
Western Australians who purchase a native tree from a local nursery can make a claim of up to $150 via the ServiceWA app.
It’s as easy as One, Two, Tree.
One: Buy a tree. Two: Plant the tree. Tree: Make a claim via ServiceWA.
And don’t forget you’ll need to keep your tax invoice and a photo of the plant label to get your rebate.
The State Government is committed to strengthening WA’s urban canopy for the future, with Treebate opening from 28 July 2025.
Eligibility
All Western Australians aged 18 years and over are eligible to claim one native tree.
To receive the rebate you must:
- Choose a native tree with a canopy that reaches at least three metres in height when mature.
- Have a photo of the plant label showing the scientific or common name to upload in your claim.
- Get a tax invoice as proof of purchase. You will need a valid tax invoice to claim your rebate.
