The Kensington Secondary School lies on State Government controlled land, within Reserve 23941 and is zoned as ‘Special Use – Education’ under the Local Planning Scheme and as ‘Urban’ under the Metropolitan Region Scheme. This land parcel has a small area, less than 1 hectare, of remnant bushland on the south-east boundary that lies adjacent to the Kensington Bushland Reserve.
This vegetation is in fair condition despite having previously been used as a BMX track and rubbish and grass- cutting dumping ground. The School is required to maintain the area to reduce bushfire fuel loads, notably grassy weeds.
In 2025, the school received an Urban Forest Grant from the Town of Victoria Park to undertake the first phase of a program to rehabilitate the patch of Banksia Woodlands on schoolgrounds.
This includes weed management, managing site access and planting trees as part of a conservation focused education program for students.
