Normal residential lots are eligible for one tree and corner properties may receive two or three trees.
The annual tree planting program takes place from June to August, based on funding, tree availability and rainfall to allow the tree to be planted in wet soil rather than dry soil.
Residents can request a specific tree. However, the City's Parks team determines a suitable tree based on:
- Above and below-ground services
- Size and width of the verge
- Vehicle and pedestrian sightlines
- Existing species in the area
- Whether the verge is part of a singular species avenue.
The City will select a location for the tree and water it for two years post-planting. Residents are encouraged to assist by giving the tree extra water.
