The City undertakes all maintenance of verge trees, including planting, pruning and removal. Where overhead power lines are present, street trees are pruned by the City in accordance with Western Power requirements for the clearance of overhead power lines.
The City will supply and plant street trees at no charge to the Community, upon request. The length of your verge will determine how many trees will be planted.
Residents should be aware that any trees planted on the verge become the property of the City. The City has the right to remove trees that create a hazardous situation. Only approved species should be planted. Street Trees are planted in the winter months irrespective of reticulated verges. Please see the general species selection list for your area.
