Lakes Boulevard tree planting
Main roads planting program
Our main roads planting program transformed streetscapes throughout the City of Whittlesea into vibrant boulevards of diverse, colourful trees that connect people and nature.
Why we need more trees
Trees provide our community a range of benefits, including:
- providing much needed shade in urban areas
- contributing to neighbourhood character and the look and feel of the street
- reducing air pollution in an efficient and cost-effective way
- providing habitat for native wildlife
- enhancing people’s health and wellbeing.
Lakes Boulevard planting program
As part of our main roads street tree planting program, we planted new trees along Lakes Boulevard, from Plenty Road to Findon Road, in South Morang in 2022.
The trees that were planted along the Lakes Boulevard were specifically chosen to suit this location and included a range of deciduous and evergreen trees.
