Tree management

We proactively manage trees and vegetation in the road reserve and in public spaces through regular inspections, trimming and planting programs.

Every year, we work hard to...

  • Inspect and report on more than 35,000 significant trees
  • Inspect and clear 17,500 sections of vegetation alongside powerlines (where required).
  • Inspect and maintain more than 2,000 areas of vegetation.
  • Trim more than 15,000 areas of vegetation for tree health, safety, the functionality of the road network and aesthetics.
  • Inspect for damage and cleanup after storms.

Some of the core maintenance we deliver:

  • Proactively inspect and assess vegetation to identify necessary works that mitigate safety risks, preserve tree health, and enhance visual amenity while safeguarding mature trees.
  • Undertake tree works based on inspection findings and responding to community requests for tree services.
  • Draft and maintain an Electrical Lines Clearance Plan and deliver an annual inspection and pruning program to ensure clearance requirements from powerlines are met in Declared Urban Areas.
  • Plan and implement the Shire’s tree planting program and ensuring the successful establishment of newly planted trees.
  • Inspect and cleanup activities following storm events. 

This maintenance is currently provided by:

  • Ventia Australia Pty Ltd
