Trees on Public Land

Our Open Spaces team look after public areas such as parks, sportsgrounds, bushland, nature strips and the golf course. We prune trees, collect fallen branches, and remove trees in accordance with Council's Tree Preservation and landscape guidelines and Urban Forest Strategy.  

General maintenance of nature strips, such as mowing the lawn, is the responsibility of the resident whose property adjoins the nature strip.

Street Tree Planting

Council selects street tree species consistent with Council's Street Tree Master Plan. Trees are selected based on the site location and site restrictions such as sight lines, services, size of the planting area and any other obstructions: i.e. the appropriate species for the appropriate location.  Residents will be notified with a letter prior to planting stating the proposed species.
