The Perth Biodiversity Project (PBP) is a Local Government initiative subscribed to by 32 Perth Metropolitan Region Local Governments and several peri-urban Local Governments. The project is supported by the Western Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) and the Western Australian Government (NRM program).

The aim of the PBP is to support Local Government members to use their functions and powers effectively to protect and manage natural areas. Since the project began in 2001, PBP has worked to build capacity for Local Governments to plan and manage biodiversity by producing various documents/tools, interlinked projects and programs, provision of services, grants and awards to assist Local Governments in biodiversity conservation.
