INFILL STREET TREE PLANTING PROGRAM 2023

Following consultation on the Urban Forest Plan, the City continues with the next phase of new street tree planting. The City's Infill Street Tree Planting Program is a priority objective of the Urban Forest Plan, helping to increase the level of canopy cover across the public realm. It is focused on the annual delivery of a targeted program of new planting to fill gaps in existing street tree planting within each of the City’s neighbourhoods.

As part of implementing the Urban Forest Plan the City of Perth will be planting new street trees between April and October 2023 with the aim of:

• Filling gaps within existing street trees
• Helping to cool streets
• Improving green links
• Beautifying neighbourhood streets
• Promoting community health and well being.


WHERE WILL YOU BE PLANTING?

This year will see new trees planted across all of the City’s six neighbourhoods in support of our Neighbourhood Place Plans.

URBAN FOREST PLAN BACKGROUND

The City of Perth Urban Forest Plan was adopted by Council in September 2016, after a period of public consultation.

The urban forest is broadly defined as the collection of green spaces, trees and other vegetation that grows within an urban area, on both public and private land. It provides a range of social, environmental and economic benefits that enrich the quality of urban life. The Urban Forest Plan sets out a vision, goals and objectives for the future planning, management and expansion of the urban forest to maximise the delivery of these benefits.
