Street trees of Knox

Listen

Council is responsible for managing approximately 70,000 street trees. Having a diverse range of species is vital for ensuring our trees are less vulnerable to the effects of climate change and pests or disease.

2022 Street Tree Renewal Project

Every year we identify a number of streets across Knox to receive new trees as part of our Street Tree Renewal Project. We ask residents in those streets to vote on which trees they would prefer to have planted.

We plant these trees in April to June, during peak rain periods when the soil is moist. We monitor the trees monthly for the first 2 years and water them using recycled water (when available) over the warmer months.
