Zone 8 - Sheltered Valley

The hilly landscapes of Bondi and Bronte have a number of areas that could be referred to as small sheltered valleys or gullies. They are protected from the coastal influences that limit the success of tree planting; receive greater water run-off; have deeper soils and are more protected from strong winds.

Some examples are:

• Blandford Avenue Bronte
• Leichhardt Street Bronte
• Cuthbert Street Queens Park
• Varna Street Waverley

Streetscape Character

Many of these streets already benefit from having mature established trees primarily because of these improved growing conditions. The streets vary from wide to very narrow with corresponding widths of naturestrips. A number of the narrower streets have a canopy of trees that covers the width of the street.

Dominant Trees

These streets are fortunate to have a high proportion of mature large trees such as:

Preferred Tree Species
