Managing Council’s tree population for future generations
We are developing our first Tree Strategy, and back in June 2024, we asked for your ideas and feedback to understand what should be included in this strategy.
We're developing a Tree Strategy for a number of reasons:
Community engagement
Stage one of community engagement (June 2024) was about understanding how you feel about our trees, what is important to you about tree management, what tree is your favourite and how you want to be involved in trees into the future.
You can find out what we heard from our community by reading the Engagement Outcomes Report.
Stage two of community will be about sharing a draft Tree Strategy with you and giving you the opportunity to comment on what you like, what's missing and ideas for the strategy.
Stage two of engagement will be undertaken during August 2026.
