Hobsons Bay City Council is asking residents to help achieve their ambitious Urban Forest Strategy.
The council recently developed and adopted their first Urban Forest Strategy, which outlines a target to achieve 30% tree canopy cover by 2040.
The draft Canopy Delivery Plan will be the delivery mechanism in helping achieve the strategies objectives, which include identifying locations for street trees to be planted and planting trees in ‘harder to plant’ locations.
In order to help meet these targets, residents can plant a virtual tree on the Urban Canopy Delivery Plan where they would like to see a real one or nominate their street to be a green street.
Feedback closes Wednesday 24 November.
