Tree Species Finalised for Planting in 26 Local Streets this April to June

7 February 2024

A report was considered by the Asset Management Committee on 20 November 2023 to note the outcomes of consultation on tree species options for each of the 26 local streets selected for the 2024 Whole Street Planting Program, and to seek endorsement (approval) of each street's majority-preferred tree species for planting. You can view the report in the Committee Agenda here (Item 4.84, pg 365 "Whole Street Planting 2024 - Consultation Outcomes").

Following this meeting, the Council endorsed the recommended tree species for planting in each street. You can view the final species that was selected for each street in this table.

Planting preparation is scheduled to start in March 2024, with tree planting to follow from 1 April and concluding at the end of June 2024. To review the planting locations and what's happening in each street, including in front of your property, please head to the project page to view the Whole Street Planting Map 2024.

If your property verge doesn't look like it will receive a street tree, this is likely because we have assessed it as unsuitable due to location of underground services or available space.

Keep an eye out for a planting notification flyer (copy below) in your letterbox from 12-16 February about what to expect, and how you support your new tree if you wish.
