It’s tree planting season…

Let’s green our streets together with more street trees

I’m out in the local area and have noticed there seems to be some missing street trees outside some houses, this could be due to a tree dying or being removed due to damage, and not being replaced.

Presently there isn’t a process for Council to audit missing trees for replacement, and this is generally done on resident request.

Council’s annual tree planting season in now upon us, so it is a great time to request planting of a new tree in your street if there is one missing.

If you would like to request a new tree be planted, the best way is to contact Council’s customer service team on 8416 6333 or email csu@wtcc.sa.gov.au.  Or if you prefer, feel free to send the request to me and I will forward on to the correct department.

Unfortunately I can’t guarantee all requests will be done this planting season, as there are only limited budgets each year, but if not this year, hopefully your request can be actioned next planting season.

Let’s enjoy greener streets together.
