This decision will be reviewed on 14 March having regard for the seasonal conditions applicable at that time.
The street tree program is open to properties in residential areas only.
Through the programme, trees are supplied and planted on the verge at no cost to residents. The maximum number of trees available per property is guided by the length of your road frontage boundary (in metres) divided by 10.
Requests for street trees being planted this winter have been extended for a limited period until this year’s supply of trees has been allocated or by the 26th June. The City takes requests for street trees year round. Planting of the trees only occurs in winter (July/August). There is a limited number of trees available each year. If your request for a tree(s) cannot be accommodated this winter, your request will be prioritised for planting the following year.
The programme aims to maintain and expand tree coverage in urban areas. Street trees help make an area look established and feel more relaxed. They provide shade and shelter and help to reduce summer water use. They bring life to an area by providing feeding and nesting places for wildlife and can even help improve property values. Residents can help the City by assisting their street tree to establish. Pruning and ongoing maintenance of the tree(s) is the responsibility of the City, and any requests for maintenance of verge trees can be forwarded to Customer Service on (08) 9781 0444, or via email city@busselton.wa.gov.au.
