Trees are our most important natural assets. As well as beautifying our streets, they clean the air, provide cooling shade, provide a habitat for birds and other animals, and create a healthy, resilient, liveable city. We greatly value our urban forest and ensure we support it to be healthy and flourishing, so the trees in turn can continue to provide our community with all these benefits.
Street Trees
Street trees are council-owned trees planted on nature strips and median strips on nearly every street in Holdfast Bay. There are more than 100 different species that have been planted over decades. Council currently aims to plant approximately 600 new street trees every year, with a preference to plant out whole streets in one go, which allows the new trees to be watered together and grow together, creating a pleasing look to the street. There are many factors involved in choosing the right tree for the right place.
