Draft Urban Tree Policy on public exhibition
Council is currently exhibiting a draft Urban Tree Policy which describes the value of urban trees and as assets to the community how they will be protected, maintained and managed. The provisions of the policy are applicable to all Council controlled trees located on urban roads, streets and across the public open space network within towns and villages, but not including bushland reserves.
The Urban Tree Policy is the overarching document for the consolidation of various plans relating to tree protection, management, connectivity and sustainability. These documents include:
- Street Tree Master Plan 2016
- Street Tree Implementation Plan 2016
- Tree Risk Management Plan (currently being developed)
