What is the Street Tree Masterplan?

The masterplan is a guide to how we plant street trees now and in the future.

Why do we need one?

Waverley is a highly densely populated area with very limited open green space. Planting more trees and caring for our existing trees can help redress this imbalance

However, planting street trees requires a co-ordinated approach and this masterplan will help by providing:

We have over 10,000 street trees in Waverley and we want to build on that number to make Waverley a greener and even more pleasant place to live.
