Description
In September 2024, the Tree Canopy Strategy and Tree Canopy Strategy Action Plan 2024/25-2025/26 was adopted by Council.
The Strategy guides Council and our community in how we will protect and expand our tree canopy cover over the next 10 years, for the benefit of our community over the next 50–100 years.
It’s accompanied by 2-year action plans, which outline tangible actions we’ll take alone and in partnership with our community to achieve our targets.
The 3 key targets of this strategy are to:
- increase canopy cover to 27% by 2040 (across public and private land)
- attain 100% compliance with tree planting conditions required in permits
- ensure that no single species makes up more than 10% of trees on public land.
