Tree renewal programs
In line with our Greening Whittlesea Strategy, we're committed to increasing the number of trees and green cover across the municipality.
Trees provide our community with a range of benefits, including:
- providing much needed shade in urban areas
- contributing to neighbourhood character
- reducing air pollution in an efficient and cost-effective way
- providing habitat for native wildlife
- enhancing people’s health and wellbeing.
The trees planted along nature strips have been specifically chosen to suit the location and include a range of deciduous and evergreen species.
Tree renewal programs for the 2023-24 financial year
We're undertaking several major tree renewal programs this year:
- Main Roads and High-Profile Streetscapes Planting Program.
