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.
• Parks Tree and Major Facilities Planting Program.
• Residential Street Tree Renewal Planting Program.
• Conservation Reserves Tree Planting Program.
• Creek Corridor Planting Program.
• Tree Infill program.
