Where will you be planting?

    New trees will be planted in Central Perth, Claisebrook and East Perth where there are gaps in existing tree planting in the following streets:
     

    Central Perth west

    • Hay Street
    • King Street 
    • Little Milligan Street
    • Wellington Street
    • Murray Street

    Claisebrook

    • Wickham Street
    • Wittenoom Street
    • Trafalgar Road
    • Tully Road
    • Victory Terrace

    East Perth

    • Wellington Street
    • Horatio Street
    • Nelson Crescent
    • Hay Street 
    • Erskine Link
    • Hale Street

     

    Approximately 42 new street trees will also be planted along Hackett Drive in Crawley/Nedlands.

    Which species will be planted?

    New tree species are determined by the City of Perth Street Tree Guide (currently in development).  In general, new tree planting will match existing tree species most commonly found within each street.

    When will planting take place?

    Planting will take place between April and October 2021.  Planting during the cooler months maximises successful tree establishment and growth.

    In some instances, site investigation works may take place prior to tree planting to located underground services and test soils.  The work is generally low impact and the City aims to minimise disruption to adjoining businesses and residents during planting.

    How can I help?

    The City of Perth is responsible for all trees planted within city streets.  To maximise success each tree is given additional care and management during the first two years after planting.  This includes watering once to twice a week during the spring, summer and autumn months.

    The role of the community is important.  You can assist the City by letting us know if trees are struggling or have been damaged, and by carrying out additional watering during summer months. Pleas apply water directly to the base of the tree to give it the best chance of survival.
