How to apply for a street tree

You can request a free street tree to be planted on your verge, courtesy of the City.

To request your free street tree, fill out the street tree application form. All forms must be received by 31 March each year to ensure stock availability. 

The request period will close each year from April to August (or earlier if our allocation has been exhausted). During this time, no new requests will be accepted to allow us to finalise existing orders. Please check back in August for new opportunities.

How it works

Eligibility

Normal residential lots are eligible for one tree and corner properties may receive two or three trees.

Planting season

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.

Selecting a tree

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.

Choosing the right tree for your space is essential to enhance both beauty and functionality. Whether you're looking for a tree that provides shade, attracts local wildlife, or adds a vibrant splash of color to your surroundings, our diverse selection has something to offer. Explore our Tree Fact Sheets to find the perfect species that suits your needs.
